The house is beautiful, everything is very clean and very organized. It really feels like a luxurious house and street parking was easy. The location is a little annoying to get to because it’s on a one way street next to the freeway. On one night, they were doing construction and I drive about 20 minutes going around to try and get to the street which is on a dead end.
Our room always stayed cool and the area of the house is very peaceful. The room we stayed in was on the last bottom floor. It’s a spacious and clean with a closet and a full restroom. The shower in there is really cool.
The downside to the shower is the water is always hot, regardless of how you turn the handle. Also, for what ever reason, things creek in the room. Because it’s at the very bottom, you hear everything going on above you. We could hear when the people above would urinate, when they turned on the bathtub and when they let the water go. On a few occasions it sounded like a marble being dropped in the wall. My husband was working in the morning so it made it difficult to stay asleep. We contacted Sam and he said he would work something out if the room got rented but if not we would lose our money and reservation. As a host myself I understand and agree. Everything was ok until the last 10 minutes of my stay. I’m not sure if it was Sam or someone else but he came up to me and in a very angry way asked “Why do you keep using this?” And pointed to a pot on the electric stove that had water in it. He said, “You don’t see this?” And he pointed to a sign that says you can’t cook full meals on the stove. I told him I was using a pot to boil water and he said “ You can get water from the microwaved not this. Don’t use any of this.”
As a super host myself, this was the most rude interaction I have EVER had with a host. I was cleaning up everything after myself even drying dishes to not leave them out and he was so mad about me boiling water.
I give my guests rides to the grocery store or I invite them to joint me on a run yo Target or something like that. The person in this house doesn’t not deserve to be a super host. His way of addressing this was so aggressive and unnecessary.
For the price you pay it’s best yo stay in a hotel. At least hotels won’t mKe you take off your shoes to walk on the tile floor and they give you toiletries, there’s no noise cut off time and you’ll find friendly staff yo help you out.
Because of this my husband and I have been staying in hotels and if you want to be comfortable I recommend you all do the same.
