Our host was kind enough to facilitate an early check-in. Beyond that, we had issues with the cleanliness of the place. Being pet friendly, we expected the potential for dog smell but we found it to be fairly pervasive---the same could be said for the amount of dog hair. It was apparent that the bedding had not been changed prior to our arrival and the bed was not made. Combined with the clothes lying on the floor around the room, it simply felt a bit grungy. We actually purchased an entire set of linens and bedding to feel comfortable sleeping there.
I'm certain the place can be cleaned and our host was definitely kind and accommodating---at a point in the near future, I'm confident this can become a valued place to stay.
