Cleanliness: Adequately clean.
Accuracy: I suppose Ky’s place certainly LOOKS close to the stadium on a map. However, perhaps she would be better served amending the description of this listing to something that more accurately captures the 10-15 minute drive to the stadium. Another issue is the phrase “No Laundry, living room or kitchen access.” This implies physical access. Needless to say, I was a bit confused when we entered the property and found ourselves in the living room. I should have clarified what “access” meant at that point–that’s on me–but this wording led to a misunderstanding later on. “Not for guest use” would be far more clear.
Check-in: Very easy
Communication: As stated earlier, I should have clarified what “access” meant. However, I assumed it was just a typo on the listing. My wife and I at one point went downstairs and sat on the couch, and very promptly received a phone call from Ky informing us that we had misunderstood the listing. I could have chosen to get defensive and point out the lack of clarity in the listing, but I instead chose immediately to react apologetically and deference, promising it wouldn’t happen again. With a respectful and gracious host, that would have been the end of conversation. Ky, however, is not a respectful or gracious host. Despite my immediately apologetic and respectful response, Ky saw fit to make multiple condescending and disrespectful remarks to me before ending the conversation. Furthermore, at no point were we offered information on check-out procedure, either in the listing or at check-in. Uncommunicative and hostile host.
Location: As stated, the listing description of the location is misleading at best. Not great location if you plan on spending any time in the center of the city.
Value: For what you pay, this is not a good place to stay. You’re sequestered to a poorly ventilated room, and your presence is unwelcome anywhere outside of your bedroom. This listing would be best treated by guests as an overnight crashpad at most, and yet the price is simply too high for an overnight crashpad. Uppity, greedy, unfriendly, inhospitable host. Just stay in a hotel, honestly.
