Pros:
1)	This very spacious space is close to the heart of Normal Heights and would be fine for a weekend getaway.
2)	The host was generally responsive via the AirBNB app.
Cons:
1)	This is a partially converted basement that is not set up for a longterm stay. Though there is a “kitchen” with a fridge and stove/oven the rest is bare bones. There are not enough cookware / utensils to make a simple pot of spaghetti.
2)	You do not have privacy. There are no curtains in most rooms including the bathroom. Because the windows are at ground level, the neighbor can see directly into the bathroom. The placement of mirrors allows full view of the bathroom from outside.
3)	The place is DARK. You are in a basement with very little natural light.
4)	Though the host was generally responsive, she was not willing to address the problem of the lack of privacy. This was brought to attention within first few days, but by day 17 was not fixed.
5)	Dog poop in the yard and the walkway.
6)	The entry to the unit is in back via a side yard. This space is shared by her dog, which leaves daily “surprises”.
7)	The entrance to property via back and side yard is VERY dark. Impossible to see the dog poop at night.
