The add doesn't make clear what you sign up for. The bathroom is not shared with the host, it's communal. Everybody at the "hotel" uses it and they have over 30 "private rooms". Men and women all share one bathroom. Disgusting and awkward.
This was in essence one big space they divided with drywall (or cardboard) into tiny rooms. The wall is so thin you swing along with the person next door if they dare move in their bed. The worst part is that the "rooms" have no ceiling. You can hear the lightest whisper from all rooms. This is not a private room, it's a shared room with dozens of people who just can't see each other.
House rules are a joke, nobody follows them. People were checking in at midnight, pulling luggage, slamming doors, taking showers all night long. And all of it you can hear with stereo speaker quality. I didn't get more than a couple of hours of sleep. There is a good chance that sleeping on 8th Avenue in a box would be more peaceful and certainly more private. At least you wouldn't get so intimately acquainted with the crowd's bodily functions.
The sheets smelled funny and had several pieces of hair on them. There is no way they had been washed. The mattress was the lowest quality possible and child size.
The AC works outside your room and there is no exhaust inside your space. It was so hot. No, you don't have AC.
I never met the host. The guy who showed me around the premises was very sweet and nice. He's the only reason I didn't give it one star.
