I cannot stress how sincerely I urge you to look elsewhere for lodging.
The host is the chintziest miser that I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Unaccommodating, rude, and greedy are just a few words that I can think of to describe my experience with him.
The biggest issue that he has is the air conditioning. Like other reviews have said, he sets it at 76 and the thermostat is password locked. When I reached out to him, about possibly being able to adjust the temperature, it took him 17 HOURS to respond. I had to go to bed sweating. As a little bonus, the A/C turned off at night, at a time when it was still hot outside.
In the morning, I had a brilliant idea. My phone has an infrared blaster, so I downloaded an app to control the temperature myself. It worked perfectly. Finally I was comfortable in my room.
When the host finally wrote back, he said that he will set it to the temperature I want. I told him it was no problem, I was able to control it. He said that he doesn't allow guests to control the temperature, because they tend to abuse it. I told him that I didn't plan on abusing it. He responded by telling me to leave it alone, or he would disable it completely. What a joke.
I told him I would leave it alone and asked him to set it to 70 degrees. Two hours later (without A/C), he finally got back to me saying that I had set it to heat, and caused all minisplits in the house to turn off. I'm not sure if that's what he was seeing on his little tablet, or if he was just lying, as I did not set it to heat.
He turned the A/C back on and set it to 75 degrees. What a generous overlord! I asked him to lower it to 70. He said that constantly changing the temperature and lowering it to such an "extreme place" could reduce the service life of the unit. He said he would put it to 70 if I gave him an extra $10. How greedy.
I asked how low he would set it, without charging me excess money. He said 75.
Further list of complaints: Very slow to replace toilet paper, hides it from guests so we can't "abuse it" I'm sure. Dish detergent was practically water (another brilliant cost-saver). No paper towels. Seems like the kind of guy who would wash and reuse them. No lights on in the hallway or kitchen, forcing you to navigate by flashlight. It does not seem to be an issue of fixing them. I'm sure the host is just too cheap to pay for the electricity. Wouldn't give access info until I was right outside the door, despite telling him when I would be there. Location is poor for walking, as even though it's by a gate, it was permanently closed. You have to circumnavigate the neighborhood to exit. Bathtub may have never been cleaned. Main fridge is an absolute disaster. Why are there loads of batteries in the freezer? That doesn't help preserve them, it damages them. Plates and cups supply is laughable. Curtains don't cover window completely. Two door knobs on the front door and only one works. The other one is just to mess with you I guess. Road noise is very loud.
All in all, a downright terrible experience. Skip this place.
