This place is way not what you see. All looks as if it came from goodwill and is totally mismatched to the point of almost being funny.Couch had holes with stuffing coming out, cream chair was so spotted, tv didn't work tho she said dish was maybe messed up, front door screen door has bottom missing completely, there is no water in little kitchen-you have to go to hall by bathroom to a sink whose drain board is proped up on books to make it level and whose legs are proped up on bricks and concrete books,(when I had to get a small flashlight to look under it for a dropped item I saw several spiders and webs) the living room had bookshelves all made of bricks and boards, one of the rooms has plywood as a paneling, another has covers of Time magazines stapled to the wall. There are basement windows at top and the curtains on them kept falling down-one fell while she was showing us the place. This is a basement place down steep stairs. It is not totally lockable bc the owner shares washer/dryer with you so they could come down the stairs. Tenent can lock only the door to outside. There is a thermostat and bc we were there when temp was good we didn't suffer but the tiny bathroom does not have a heat vent. There are unused doors leaning against the wall behind the exposed water heater which is partially wrapped with clear tape and a green bath towel.the kitchen has no sink and no water. To make coffee you have to go to the hall by the bathroom to a sink which is standing by the exposed pipes through which the upstairs waste water flows. But I will be fair- the bed was comfortable, the host nice for the 5 minutes we saw her, there back does have a place to sit out though we were sitting there in morning drinking coffee and a total stranger (woman) came suddenly around the corner and said don't worry she was there to tend the veggie garden. (My husband and I sort of sat there without speaking till she left. She was always within hearing distance). There was good hot water and extra towels. Location was good for us bc our daughter lived 5 minutes away. That's the only reason we stayed. Coffee pot was good. We paid $531 for four nights. I felt this was way overpriced considering the shabby condition and that the pics were obviously staged cardfully. If she wNts to have a hostel type place she should represent it as such.
