Overall my stay was nice. I just had a few issues with the space.
1.) The listing says street parking available. What it doesn’t mention, is that street parking is not very available! If your car was not parked by around 3-4pm, then spaces became extremely limited. The parking situation was fairly manageable during the week, however, the weekend was a different story. There is a bar at the end of Virginia Ave, and on Friday and Saturday nights, it is very busy. This means the entire street is completely packed!! On Friday and Saturday nights, there was NOT a single parking spot!! I would drive up the street multiple times looking for a spot. However, I usually had to end up parking on another street. This was extremely inconvenient! If I knew parking was going to be such a problem, I would have booked a different listing. If you have a car, I would highly recommend thinking about another parking option.
2.) The walls in my room were extremely thin!! I could actually hear the guest snoring in the room beside mine. You really shouldn’t be able to hear snoring through the walls. You could also tell this wall was added to make one bedroom into two bedrooms. When the wall was added, the construction must have been poor.
3.) My room was on the first floor beside the living room. It was very loud in my room when anyone was in the living room watching tv. I could hear every word from the tv in my bedroom. Again, thin walls! This was a problem when I had to be up early and other guests were watching tv. There were a few nights I had to ask a guest to turn the tv down so I could go to sleep.
4.) There was definitely an animal or two living in the wall. Most nights I was able to hear scratching and pipes rattling in the wall. When I knocked on the wall, the scratching would stop for a while. If this wasn’t creepy enough, a few of the nights I even heard the animals squeeling. It sounded like there were two animals in the wall screeching and fighting each other. I messaged the host about this problem, and he said he would try to get someone to the house. However, I was there for a month and the problem continued.
5.) There were 6 rooms available for rent in the house and there was only 1 refrigerator. The host had the refrigerator sectioned off by room. We were each allotted 1/2 of a shelf. That’s all!! This might not have been a problem if you were only staying there for a weekend, however I was there for a whole month. That meant I had to go shopping more frequently than I wanted to because there was nowhere for me to store food. I really thought this was unacceptable.
Overall, I did have a nice stay. These were just the problems I thought were unacceptable, and needed mentioned so future guests are aware.
