Richard is a very kind, conscientious man. He wants to make every experience great for every guest. However, the population surrounding the building cannot be compared; homeless patrol the streets, there are drunkards downstairs who scream and yell, and I generally felt unsafe on multiple occasions, which made it difficult to venture out on my own and explore because I was solo-traveling. If you do not mind the noise of the street next door, hot nights with only fans, or occasional harassment from homeless, you will probably be fine. The bed was comfortable, sheets were clean, room was clean, there were hangers in the closet and two towels/soap waiting for me when I checked in. I think Richard is likely doing everything he can correctly despite the surrounding conditions, but I believe it’s important to understand the full picture of a location before booking. Guests had no problems complying with the hosts’ rules. I was grateful for the room but will likely not rebook in the future due to factors that the host really can’t control, so I do not blame him!
