Heads up- this place shares a wall with other tenants, there’s literally a barricaded door where one house was split into 2. The neighbors on the other side of the wall are very loud and kept us up til about 11. We had been driving since 5am with our 3 kids and everyone was exhausted - and we couldn’t sleep due to the noise. We texted Winson and thankfully after about 30 minutes he must have talked to the tenants and they lowered their voices.
There is no way to control temperature in this unit. We were freezing after a cold stormy night and had to contact the host to please turn the heat on for us. It’s a bit of a nuisance. We suggested to the host to add a separate space heater, as well as a fan which at least would help with noise reduction of the neighbors.
The neighborhood itself is loud- we ended up sleeping with the window open for air flow since we couldn’t control that. We were woken up 3 times thinking someone was trying to break In Through our window! Turns out the house next door to us is so close, whatever they were doing with the fence line or stuff they were carrying- someone was rummaging around at 3, 4, and 5 AM trying to get into the other house- but it’s so close you can’t tell the difference. It left us feeling a bit weary and unsafe.
Parking is also an issue at times with the tenants blocking the driveway- so more communication with the the hoist and tenants needed.
Nice things were lots of extra blankets, and plenty of bed space including the pullout couch. So, a great amount of beds for the price. But the price makes sense considering the other issues.
Winson did a great job responding immediately and working to solve the issues we had. Luckily he made the stay a bit more enjoyable with his quick communication.
The house felt overall dirty/ dingy upon arrival. There were hairs in the bathroom, around the sink, and a lot of dust/ dead bugs on cupboards, the shower and around floors. It felt gross. A few homey touches or matching bed spreads/ furniture would make a huge difference. All In all it was a cheap stay that worked out, but had a lot of issues that were not great for a family. This would maybe work for a college sports team or friends coming to a concert for one night and being rowdy, but not for a family with kids trying to sleep.
