Please, do yourself a favor and search other options. This is not a good place to be. The host is passive aggressive, his listing is completely wrong (you don't have access to the common areas, the sleeping arrangement is only one bed as opposed to what you see on the description). The room is extremely small and the bathroom is shared with any guests from the living room. It's not uncommon for him to throw parties with loud music (happened twice in a row) and have guests using the bathroom that was supposed to be private. We didn't complain on the first 2 days because we thought it was due to Thanksgiving and things would get better and we would have access to the common areas after that. But on the third day, when I brought up this subject, the host became angry and started yelling at us to "get the f* out of his kitchen, get the f* out of his house". I'm a very empathetic person and tried to sit down with him to come up with a solution, one in which we both could benefit from - we could leave that same day if he wanted, and get reimbursed for the following days. Upon leaving, he declined the request and left a message saying that I was rude, that I disturbed his pets, threw a party at his kitchen, and invaded his common space. A space which we were supposed to have access but did not even access, since we were inside of the bedroom almost the entire time. His pets were barking all the time and I really love dogs, I never disturbed them in any way and it makes no sense to make such an allegation. They look violent, they keep barking even on the second day when they are supposed to already know you, and many times won't let you sleep.
tl;dr: there are tons of better choices. We got kicked out in the middle of this night by Steve and had to figure out where to go. We were left with no plans in the middle of the street of a very cold NY (20F). We walked more than 20 minutes in the cold to the first hotel we found.
