Elizabeth's place is definitely a "bargain location" which she makes very clear on her listing. She doesn't hide the fact that this is not a fancy accommodation, and even sent me a message asking me to double check the listing to be sure it would work for me and reminding me it wasn't fancy. So I was not expecting anything very nice or fancy, which was accurate. The space was almost 100% “as advertised.” Elizabeth sent me a text which included picture instructions for check-in which was nice, and there are signs inside which welcome/encourage you to reach out if you have any issues. Other than that, we didn’t have much interaction with our host which is perfect for me! We only used one of the queen beds, which surprisingly was not the most uncomfortable bed we'd slept on in an AirBnB. We did test out the other queen mattress to see which was better and the other one seemed like it would be quite uncomfortable to sleep on. I am deducting one star for cleanliness. Her listing makes it clear that it's not fancy but it is a clean place to sleep. And while I could tell the space had been cleaned (clean sheets, folded towels, etc) there was definitely a moisture issue in the basement. I reached out to the host to ask about the possibility of a dehumidifier and her suggestion was to turn the A/C down. So we were pretty chilly during our stay and the moisture issue still didn't improve entirely. The couches in particular were very damp for the duration of our stay and they had some discoloration which I believe was very likely mildew from constant moisture. The check-out instructions included turning the thermostat up to 78 which implies that moisture is almost certainly accumulating in the space whenever it is unoccupied. There were also several millipedes and other bugs which I know can’t always be controlled but still not pleasant to deal with. We’ve had both of these issues (moisture/humidity + millipedes) in our own basement and we sprayed around the house to take care of the bugs and placed a dehumidifier down there to keep things dry. In a space you’re renting out to guests, both of these preventative measures should definitely be considered, especially in a basement which is especially prone to these issues. Overall, I think Elizabeth does her best to maintain a clean space and offer a good bargain location for those traveling on a budget. I’m not confident she’s fully aware of just how much moisture is accumulating in her basement, as she probably hardly ever uses it herself. I hope she will address these issues to improve the experience of future travelers. If not for the damp and discolored couch I probably would have given her 5 stars.
