Heather and Tom were very friendly and accommodating, the studio was clean and stocked.
However, there were some issues that made my stay less enjoyable. There were lists or signs with very specific directions posted on 5 separate surfaces in the small studio. The said things like “turn the ac to 79 and leave only one light on when leaving; park on the left; turn on the dehumidifier when showering; no disposal” I found all the signs imposing. It’s clear the hosts are very particular, but it doesn’t encourage comfortability and freedom when all the signs and postings make you feel like you’re going to do something to make them upset.
Another issue, when I was booking this room I was considering another option, but chose this one solely on price, the other had a better location. A day before arriving I checked the listing, and noticed that the “pet friendly” option had been removed. This was a problem, because I had my dog. When I contacted the host, she said she’d have to charge me am extra $25 cleaning fee. This was not described in the listing when I booked months ago (it was updated during my stay). Had I known this, I would’ve chosen the other option. I consider this a “hidden fee,” I had no choice but to go on with tha reservation because it was too late to find other accommodations.
