The location of the house is right by a freeway so you will be hearing sirens and engines. As the place is in the basement, you do not have any control over the air conditioning but there are two mini heaters you can use; there were many times where it would be too cold or too hot. There are a lot of spiders and ants both inside and outside of the house which was very disappointing. A small hand broom is provided so you will need to bring your own mop and a bigger broom if you are staying long term. There were wifi connection issues sometimes and you will be hearing the host and their guests talk and walk around above you. You can do street parking in front of the house but there are sweep days where you can move the vehicle on the other side of the road. The hosts were friendly and accommodating.
