The 4 of us spent 7D6N at Shirley's room #5. Appreciate how the host allows us to leave our luggage at the kitchen till 5pm on the day of departure. Location is quite convenient, only 15 min walk to 7 train.
Things to note though.
1. Lock - The lock of the room is a mess with a latch on both inside and outside the room. We felt very uncomfortable and unsafe sleeping in the room for the first 4 nights as we couldn't lock the door from inside and at the same time worried about being locked inside the room by the outside latch (which it did once). It was scary to be locked inside. Luckily there was a tenant who passed by and helped us to unlatch the door. When we gave our feedback to the host on the difficult lock on the 1st day and g!ot her response on the 4th day, she came by when the 4 of us were having a bite in the kitchen and turned the lock and locked us out. God did she make a big wooha about the whole saga as our only key was left inside the room.
2. Cleanliness - The common area was cleaned for the first 3 days but was left unattended for the next 4 days we were there. It can be quite dirty with tenants from 10 occupied rooms.
3. Responsiveness of the host - Host will sms you the address on the day of your arrival but she never checked her text messages so do not expect any reply from her via phone text message. As told by host later, she would only reply to Airbnb message as she has 10 rooms to manage but her response was slow.
4. Bed and pillows - bed is hard and pillows were too soft that it gave us back and neck aches. Luckily the host changed the pillow for us on the 4th night but the pillows were still soft and couldn't give support to the neck.
