While my expectations weren't extremely high since there was limited availability of what I was seeking I think I'm mainly just used to better accommodations. When I walked in there was a bad odor which wasn't a good first impression. I think it improved during my stay so there may have been a gap in time when someone stayed there before me. Upon my arrival the bathroom window had been open so this may have been an attempt to help the smell or maybe it was just left open by mistake. Not sure. When I indicated this smell to the owner he was ready to have someone come the following morning to assist which was nice, but since I wasn't staying much longer anyway it wasn't needed. The carpeting and bathroom rug were dated and dingy, but everything else was fine. When the heat was on there would be 1 or 2 very loud bangs. I recalled it from another review so it was Ok, but still a bit disconcerting. My parking spot was taken 2x, but the owner was responsive. My stay was fine for my needs.
