First impression: gross. There was a dirty sock on the floor, a used piece of gum on the trash can and the place was permeated with a very unpleasant smell. The rugs in the room seemed old used and also permeated with dirt. Please note the “private” bathroom is detached from the actual room and you must access it through a hallway that connects the basement room/ laundry room to the rest of the house and is only separated by a screen which can be easily moved.
I am very unimpressed and grossed out, I expected a lot more from the place for the price I paid, I may have as well stayed at a hostel. Although the host did reach out, there was no way to resolve the issue as cleanliness should have been done properly from the start.
Note: this is a basement so the height of the room is very short. I am 5’4” and fit comfortably but I couldn’t fully raise my arms so beware.
