Jason was very friendly and helpful, and said if I needed anything text him.
The house was a cute 1920s home that was a bit rundown, and with a little work would look nice.
It was warm in the room, with no AC (that's shown in the listing), and the windows only raise a few inches (except the one in the back). On the last night of my stay, Jason had texted me around 9:30 pm saying he forgot to put the fan back in the room, and he apologized. He also said he had an AC unit, if it was too hot. It was too late by the time I got the text but maybe it will help someone else.
As someone wrote in July 2019, the space was not clean. In the bedroom, it was mostly dirty windows, spiders, ants, dust, and cobwebs. In the bathroom, however, the mirror had toothpaste splatters and fingerprints, the shower had dead and live bugs in the tub and the showerhead had black mildew on it, the bath mat was filthy, the floor had a sticky looking substance (urine?) with hair, and there were also spiders and ants crawling around in there as well as dust and cobwebs. The Hot Water did not work in the sink. And because of the mildew on the shower, I chose not to use that. So I went without hot water or a shower over the weekend. I felt that I shouldn't have to ask for hot water or a clean space. There's a cleaning fee provided to ensure that it's clean.
Since I didn't go into the other areas of the house, except passing through the living room to get to and from the bedroom and outside, I don't know what they looked like.
The outside could use a little cleaning up around it too, mostly weeding and moving a few things. Since I didn't know where to park, I parked in front of the bedroom windows. The grass was overgrown when I arrived, so I couldn't see if the drive went there, but I didn't feel safe leaving my car out of view. The drive is narrow, so if you have a big vehicle, it may be difficult to exit. I don't like driving on the lawn, but had no choice other than park where I could be blocked in. Jason parked far enough to the side so I could get out. My car is small, so like I said, if you have a big vehicle you may have an issue.
For those who want a quiet neighborhood, this is not a quiet neighborhood. There is a gas station right behind the house that's open 24/7. There are loud music, loud vehicles, loud people, etc all night. It's even louder with the windows open. There were sirens blaring also. Not peaceful. Not quiet.
The nature around the house is beautiful. The birds sing, there are lots of trees and plants, and there's even a bunny rabbit that I saw a couple of times. The yard is a good size. Jason has some of his work around the house, although I didn't get to stop and appreciate it.
If you're only wanting a quick place to stay for the night and don't mind the above mentioned, this would be a great place for it. I left feedback for Jason about my stay, so things could be different for the next person. Although I didn't meet Jason in person, he seemed really nice and helpful.
The house is in a great location to everything and you can get anywhere you want pretty quickly from there. There's an Ingles grocery store right down the street, and restaurants all over the place. It's also located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and the interstate.
So you have my honest review, with the good and bad. You can contact Jason if you're worried about any of the bad, and ask if it's still like that. It would at least give him a chance to fix things.
Good luck to everyone!
