Couple of things about this place. First, EXCELLENT location for walking to food, entertainment and public transit. And Bill was awesome about offering us a drink at his bar just up the road.
There were a couple of significant issues though. First, Bill didn't initially get back to me for several days after I initially booked the place. Obviously he's a busy guy, but after I pay over $500 for a place to stay, I expect a certain amount of availability from a host. Another example was waiting nearly 12 hours for him to respond to my question about the Wi-Fi password. Very nice guy, very had to reach.
Next, there were some issues with cleanliness. Dirty dishes in the cupboards (which I washed when I found them), a plate lying upside down next to the couch (which I did not move), and the floor had not been vacuumed for quite some time.
Finally, I wish I had known there were two flights of stairs to walk up.
Overall, not a terrible experience. But I definitely would not have paid as much as I did if I had known about these issues. Seems to me Bill had a couple of bad tenants, and didn't notice they left his place a mess.
