Important things missing in this listing. Please read and heed the negative reviews!!
First, the good: GREAT location, if you can tolerate the plane activity. It is loud and frequent, but the host provides earplugs and the room is well insulated. Well stocked communal kitchen. Cozy meditation room. Luggage drop off. Parking!!! VERY budget friendly, *if* you are ok with the downsides.
If you are an introvert, not sensitive to sound, light, or odors, this is a worthy consideration for lodging or be sure to bring supplies for stuffing your other facial orifices - Bring an eye shield if you are sensitive to light, and Bring a nose plug (like for swimming).
Why? There is no blackout shade for the only window, which is the glass door, so the purple lighting outside was visible 24 hours a day. Also expect to wake up as if it’s still midnight or 5am - so be sure to set your alarm! The plants that make this an “oasis” block the sunlight from reaching this cubby-hole room.
The “aroma” from the bathroom permeates the entire room. A “unique” combination of cleaning supplies, air-freshener and a basement toilet that just doesn’t work the same as one on any other level (even ground level!!!) of a home. There are no windows. No prober ventilation. The odor is fully trapped in the small space, with no “adequate” bathroom door. “Former wine-cellar” really embellishingly romanticizes the space.
The other important disclosure that is missing about this location are unsafe stairs and trip hazards, and that you are expected to sign a waiver!!! I don’t know if you can legally sign away your rights if there are hazards on a property, especially if you are not warned in advance, but there will be a waiver for such awaiting your signature when you arrive. Navigate those (many and uneven) stairs carefully and travel light (just a backpack) or have muscles either on you or with you. Probably not a good place for those who want to drink and might be a little tipsy or more, unless you have amazing insurance - just in case.
I REALLY wanted to rate this higher, and it has potential, and the hosts seem otherwise great (though I did not meet them) so I hope the hosts listen to guest feedback. Truly, this is one step up from a hostel and should be billed to that effect. Maybe choose a room in the main house for a better experience, or spend just a tiny bit more elsewhere. (You CAN get a private room in SD for the same price, or slightly more.) This listing sounds SO much better than it is in its current state, and I think people should know these things before they choose. I would definitely rate this listing much higher if these things were simply disclosed, and I would definitely come back to stay in this home - just not this room.
