The check-in was delayed by the host due to an AC problem. He later told me it was fixed when it had not been. For my entire stay it was consistently mid 80s in temperature with no air at all coming from the vents. I had to purchase a fan from a shopping center in the area just to sleep. Cooking was also a hassle because there was barely any ventilation and I had to open the back door just to not pass out from the heat. The first night I gradually adjusted the temperature over the night but the thermostat never changed and air never came out of the vent. Decided to not even touch it again. When brought to the hosts attention, he blamed me for adjusting the thermostat!
The house is an older home which comes with older problems. The floors were very rickety which makes you very conscious about how hard you walk because the walls are also very thin. With the bed on the connecting wall you can hear every midnight footstep from the hosts home next door and residents upstairs. The sink in the bathroom is very loosely sitting up so be sure to not lean on, push, bump into, or even touch very hard. The bed is also kind of uncomfortable and squeaky when you get in or even turn over. Despite all these things, the quietness of the neighborhood and how much space is offered for the price would allow you to look past it. If only it weren’t so hot!
There are grocery and convenience stores near by and a streetcar line a few blocks away. If the host ever *actually* fixes the AC this would be an okay place to stay for a short trip but for longer stays I’d recommend another place.
