I didn't know before booking, that Carl's house is undergoing remodeling, so I was surprised to receive that info before my arrival. And now there is one person who left a review and spoke of it. It bears mentioning, because you need to know that that is the general state of the house, EXCEPT for the bedrooms & bathroom. There is no construction or contractors on site if AirBnB guests are there. Its a really quiet place in a nice, safe, walkable neighborhood. The bedrooms and bathroom are very clean, simple, bright, and comfortable. If you are someone who values quiet, a clean & simple bedroom & bathroom, with "no frills" and a great price, you will be comfortable here!! I certainly was. And on top of it all, Carl is a real gentleman, very kind, and enjoyable to talk to. I totally enjoyed my stay here, and definitely recommend it! Thank you, Carl!
