Todd was great when I booked his place until check in and out time. He responded so late when I asked him if we could check out a little late just to say No and said some else is coming in for that day. When I basically begged him if we can check out at least an hour late (check out is at 11 our flight isnt until 6 which I know its not his fault but he couldve been more accomodating like the past Hosts we had) he did not respond at all. Felt like since he already got what he needed from us, he just didnt care at all anymore. My husband and I felt like we took such a good care of the place and even emptied our own trash day before we checked out and didnt get anything messy and picked up after ourselves. Check out is at 11 and check in is at 3. I didnt feel like it takes 4hrs to clean that small space esp if theres not much to clean anyway. He wasnt accomodating at all. Also, his messages wasnt as friendly and informative. I asked him a head of time if he knows any gym around, and he basically just told me he doesnt know. Just based on past experience, Host normally will at least suggest to look at a certain area where we could possibly find what we are looking for, since we are visitors and know nothing about the area. He flat out said he doesnt know, no recommendations of any kind.
The place was tucked in way in the back of the street making it difficult to find. Quite a long way walk to the subway so it defeats the purpose of saving money. We still had to uber to the subway. Sure its just little less than a mile or so but the side walks are terrible its hard to walk around it and neighborhood just didnt have that safe vibe. The room was nice and clean but you have to climb 4 (divided) flight of stairs to get to the room so imagine carrying your suitcase up.
Overall experience, i will give it 3 stars and thats even being generous.
