We all have a mixed feeling about this place. Unfortunately, the cons far outweighs the pros. I'll list them based on our experiences.
Pros: great host. Very nice & accommodating. She stayed up till late night/early morning to give us keys. Probably the only good thing about our stay.
Cons: pretty sketchy neighborhood. There were bikes and people outside late night screaming, drinking, and being obnoxiously loud. You definitely need to close the window so you dont hear it, but there was AC and smell issues that ill explain below.
We had to come late nights for our stay and finding a parking was always tough.
As soon as we entered in the room, we smelled piss. The ACs were turned off and every room had bad smell. The living room and 1 bedroom had piss smell. There was another bad odor too. Owner definitely needs to take care of this.
There was no central AC, every room had one and it was very loud.
You cant use too many ACs and multiple electric units (someone used curling iron) at the same time as it will trip the wire. That happened to us. Owner told us not to use more than 3 ACs at once, but power still went out for a couple of rooms.
Theres a long staircase at the door to get inside the room. That was a major issue for us as we had multiple heavy suitcases and taking those upstairs was tough. The staircase was not mentioned in the description. We wouldn't have rented this property if we knew.
Cleaning has to be done by the rentee even after paying cleaning fee.
