Staying at Kim's was not as expected. The reviews gave me a much different image of what the stay would be like, and quite honestly I was a little surprised when I arrived and it was not what I had expected.
If you need wifi during your stay, I wouldn't really count on it here. I had pretty spotty cell coverage and could barely get things to load, but on the wifi I couldn't load a single webpage. This is a little inconvenient when trying to plan what to do for the day or where to eat or even loading navigation.
During my stay, the stove in the camper didn't work. This amounts mostly to an inconvenience because Kim allowed us to use the kitchen in her home, but it did limit what we were able to do. She doesn't allow meat to be cooked in the house, which resulted in us having to throw some fish out. Cooking in the house also caused us to spend more time in a shared space than we would have had to had the stove in the camper been functional.
Kim's pets are fine, but the home does have a very strong pet odor and the camper itself has a strong musty odor. There also was pet hair on the towels provided, which was a little off-putting when drying off. These aren't deal breakers, but it's definitely something to be aware of and cautious of especially if you have sensitivities.
I also would not describe it as quiet as another reviewer has. The first night of our stay it was very difficult to fall asleep due to barking dogs and trains nearby, but it was a little quieter the subsequent nights (although I would not describe any nights as quiet). If you're a light sleeper I couldn't recommend.
Communication with Kim was okay. On our first night we couldn't get the stove to light. When we asked for help we were basically told to google it and then when we were concerned there wasn't propane to fuel it and asked for help she didn't respond. She responded when I asked another question a little more than 12 hours later, but never to the original question and never addressed the stove in the camper again.
Kim is nice and very generous with sharing her kitchen and home to guests, but some of the generosity could have been avoided by ensuring the stove in the camper worked. Kim's place is a good deal especially if you're budget constrained and want somewhere easy and near campus/downtown, but I don't think I would stay there again.
