When we arrived there were other guests in our space, as they were confused which room was theirs. Luckily, this was sorted out quickly. Afterwards, as we were settling in, we realized there was no way to secure our belongings from the outside, as there wasn’t a lock on the bedroom door. We contacted Ashish, who then said Cesar would install a lock on the door the next day (we arrived in the evening). He did that, which we appreciated, but by the time we came home it had already been a day leaving our stuff in an unlocked room.
The space is shared with another guest room, as well as some roommates. This would be fine, however we came home to the door to the entire house unlocked. This was concerning given that there was previously no way to lock our belongings upstairs. We also heard from the other guests that the back door to the shared kitchen space was left unlocked.
Although the host was communicative and Cesar was kind, I would not stay here again. In a city setting, I want to know myself and my belongings are secure, and I did not feel like that was the case here. Additionally, the dresser and closet were filled with items and it felt like we were staying in a friend’s place, which for the price was disappointing. There were also ants on the floor in the bedroom when we left (we had not brought any food into the bedroom).
