Listing pictures show a space that appears significantly cleaner, tidier, and better maintained than what we found.
This space feels like a college kids apartment with mismatched furniture, dusty knock knacks, and household items in poor condition. There was exposed wiring from a missing ceiling lamp, grime on the stove, and dated magazines left for guests. The restaurant guide was dated 2013. The place is decorated with a hodgepodge of odd ball vintage trinkets- all of which are dusty or not working. The kitchen isn't stocked well with coffee or tea and the fridge had a half gallon of open milk in it and other random items from previous guests- I didn't feel comfortable drinking it. The ceilings are low- maybe 7 -8 feet high and the floors are uneven. The bathroom had clean towels and sheets but the random assortment of obviously free hotel toiletries, some half used, wasn't what I expected from a host. There are bars on all the windows, and there is an unusual double front door that you have to use to enter. It wasn't clear if the bars on the widows had a emergency release in case of a fire. You can hear every single sound from the floor above, including a pet running around at one point- it was very distracting but thankfully we were so tierd after a long day, we feel right asleep otherwise, a light sleeper would likely be distracted. On a positive note, I can confirm that the bed was clean. I know this because I arrived (with hosts approval) prior to check in and met the cleaning person. She was friendly and I saw her doing the laundry and making the bed.
