Seemingly, from the pictures, this is a nice place. However, the surrounding neighborhood is rough, there are train tracks right behind the house (train woke us back up at 4am with a horn), almost no privacy from neighboring homes.
What woke me up the first time, at 2am, was my girlfriend shaking my shoulder while simultaneously repeating the word “roach”. We snapped some action photos of our visitor before I chased him down and caught him with some tissue paper.
The host was adamant about us making sure we weren’t making any noise at night, explaining that he is intent on keeping a good relationship with the neighbors. I’m not sure they would have heard us had we made any noise, as the blaring rap music was the prevailing source of noise well into the night.
I didn’t need an alarm the next morning, not because my girlfriend couldn’t go back to sleep, but mainly because the neighbor next door was hacking up a lung and dry heaving for a solid 20 minutes about 5 feet from the kitchen door (which has no blinds so the neighbors could peer into the house) at the top of the morning.
Don’t go here.
