Joyce is an overall pleasant woman however I want to be clear on the expectations you should have should you decide to stay here since the photos are somewhat deceiving.
1. Joyce is constantly yelling at her son which can be clearly heard within the room- this would occur at various times during the day and night making it difficult to sleep.
2. The heat doesn’t work which forced me to have to bundle up in order to sleep.
3. The kitchen is always full of dishes and extremely cluttered. Although you are allowed to use the kitchen it is not usable.
4. Joyce would enter my room when I wasn’t there which was not appropriate without permission.
5. Although I provided amble heads up as to my arrival time, when I did arrive my room was not cleaned and ready. Massive inconvenience after having travelled internationally to then have to wait to check in.
In general I think the host means well, but I could see this property being an issue for people that like cleanliness, organization and quiet. The house has the residents that live there in addition to another room that is occupied by other Airbnb residents which can be problematic.
