Neighborhood: this place is located in Little Haiti. When we were walking, we were the only white people there. Very unusual, but we felt safe at all times.
House: it is a pretty old house and has a few good and bad things associated with it:
1. It is charming, but run down from the outside
2. The walls are very thin. The bnb is on the 2nd floor and there is a family lives above. We heard every step starting from 6am when the family wakes up (which was 3am our time), all kids TV shows , all the stomping, and one day I had to write to Kalife about the screams that sounded like someone was being beaten (turned out kids playing).
3. the house is relatively clean inside, but the kitchen cabinets are sticky and both the sink and the bath tub were clogged.
4. There is no dining table or chairs, so we, as a family, couldn’t have quick breakfast; there is plenty of room in the kitchen for one.
5. The kids got bug bites all over their bodies that looked like ants or spiders.
6. Living room had ants all over the carpet.
7. The house is warm and comfortable.
8. The beds are comfortable, but the pillows are stiff.
9. Living room furniture is not comfortable and very small (from the picture I thought it was bigger).
10. During the day, someone likes to drive through the neighborhood with loud speaks to set off all car alarms.
11. The house is located near another house that is under construction that begins every morning at 8:30am with metal cutting and loud pounding and continues through the day.
Host: very easy check in and check out process, Kalife is responsive.
Overall, it was an ok stay if you come in and only sleep there, but if you have to be there during the day, it is not as comfortable.
