Was not a comfortable stay and would not return. Issues during my month long stay included:
- Door does not close (had to keep backpack against door to keep it from swinging open).
- Heat does not work (had to make emergency space heater purchase) Heaters only in hosts’ bedrooms per host.
- Dark: No windows.
- Several dead plants throughout the living room.
- Pipe leaked from ceiling onto bed while at work. Slept on damp sheets for a night, plumber came next day and had to ask for fresh sheets to do a bed change.
- No fresh towels/ sponge in the shared space made readily available in the month long span I was there.
- Shower head cracked and exploded off from shower pressure 2 minutes into shower running. Host seemed frustrated that I notified her of issue.
- No hot water for a day.
- Internet broken for a day.
- Broken furniture in the bedroom.
- Poor communication (Had to initiate conversation for address, had to ask for new sheets after pipe leaked on bed).
- Humidifier in the kitchen with what looked like mold growing in it was running for long enough one day to make the entire first level of the complex smell strongly of sour mildew. No windows to ventilate space.
- No privacy (sound really travels through walls, guest bedroom has window that connects to host’s bedroom, guest bedroom door does not close, main space always occupied by host, bathroom in living room).
- Was compensated under 15% of total payment by host for issues
