I didn’t meet Juanita but I am sure she strives to maintain her place and make it comfortable for guests. However, I cannot in good conscience recommend this place if you are looking for any sleep.
I booked this place for one night and came in quietly at 9 pm with the expectation of showering and getting to bed by midnight. I am not a light sleeper, but the walls are extremely thin and other guests were extremely loud past the host’s designated quiet hours.
There was someone who watched TV/took a long FaceTime call between 1-4 AM. Despite my countless pleas and requests for him to quiet down/close his door, he persisted. After a couple hours of sleep, I was woken up very early to the sound of another person taking an early international work call. My bed was against our shared wall and his voice came through so loud and clear that I initially woke up thinking he was in the room. There is no semblance of privacy or noise control. I made Juanita aware of the inconvenience and she didn’t follow up with me or offer anything like a later check out time, even though I was up all night.
As the house is run hostel style, there isn’t much the host can do from a distance to ensure that guests are comfortable and safe. If you’re looking to get some rest or wake up at your own convenience, this may not be the spot for you, as there is no guarantee of what kind of other guests you’ll be sharing the space with
