Home: exactly as pictured. Neat and stocked with cleaning products and silverware. The appliances were available although we did not need them. There were two fans in the bedroom but no a/c. The surroundings outside was nice and neat. We visited over the 4th of July holiday- lets just say the neighborhood partied hard and late Saturday into Sunday. If the pictures look dark that's because it's a basement unit. The top floor tenant was a bit noisy but not terrible.
The host: very friendly and personable when he showed up. He showed us around the home. He was more than helpful to assist with finding and giving us public transportation information when we needed it. He is not an early morning person. On 2 occasions other tenants blocked our car in- we were not able to leave to start our day. It was very frustrating when we couldn't reach the host. On the first time the whole ordeal took almost an hour to resolve . Thankfully the tenant with the car graciously moved her car. It was just frustrating that we could not reach the host within 20mins to have him resolve the matter. And it happened the next day too! If you rent the place, park on the street or towards the end of the driveway so you are not blocked in.
