I preface this pretty negative review by saying the host and owner was very kind and responsive. Unfortunately he was out of town and the care of his place slipped during my visit.
I arrived as scheduled at 2pm to an empty house but fortunately there was a key and Dana gave me a tour over the phone. Unfortunately the house was not clean, nor my room, nor the bathroom. So I dropped off my bags and went out.
Upon returning around 11 at night, the house still wasn't clean, though my bed had been made. Around midnight the housekeeper got home so at least I could get some TP. The bathroom was never well cleaned, old towels lying about and No Lock on the bathroom door. The kitchen was the whole time cluttered and full of dishes. The carpet is definitely due for a cleaning in the bedroom. Worst, the blanket on my bed seemed stained so I had to use the throw blanket. There was another comforter in the closet but it reeked.
The housekeeper (who lives here) had a guest the first night who seemed super annoyed that I was there. The second night the front door was banged down after midnight by an inebriated woman who was finally let in and who made lots of noise in the next room where the housekeeper stays. I left at 8am as soon as I woke up.
Bottom line was I didn't feel safe or comfortable at night, and there is no way to lock your belongings during the day so the extra random people around made me nervous.
The reason I give 2 stars is because I honestly feel like the host is great and if he were there this wouldn't have gone down as it did. As it was I couldn't hang around during the day and relax due to the glares of the extra person, the lack of comfort with the bed, and even, for example, the outside table was covered in dirt and cigarettes.
If you decide to take advantage of the good price, perhaps make sure you are going when the owner is at home.
