To be honest, I’m not really sure what the reviews were raving about. Except maybe Jon - he was an excellent, thoughtful, and quickly responsive host.
This is a great place for one or two nights or just to rest your head after exploring. But in general, everything felt just shy of clean (particularly the kitchen utensils) and comfortable. The wall A/C unit is incredibly loud and comes on every 30 seconds or so - really hard to enjoy the small living room if you need climate control. The yard that surrounds the unit is a bunch of sloped dirt and rock scrap. And somehow, you can hear the highway pretty clearly at night if there are very loud trucks or cars.
The neighborhood has really nice people in it and is located in a very convenient area - close to the necessities and close to drive to “the cool stuff”.
My stay wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t as awesome as I expected given the reviews.
