First of all I want to say that I appreciate what they are doing at this property to help homeless people get back on their feet. I think it is a great effort being put forth and I am glad that I was able to contribute to that by renting the house. Because of that I hate to write a bad review, but I think I need to express a couple concerns I had while staying in the house.
The first is that it was very cold the weekend I was there and when I arrived at the house I did not find a heater. I mentioned this through the airbnb site and was told that someone would drop off a portable heater to me. Unfortunately this never happened and the house got down to the low 50's inside during the cold nights.
The second issue I had was the 3 separate times someone tried to just walk right into the house. Luckily I kept the house locked even when I was there so they were not able to get in. The first time I was able to get to the door and it turns out it was just someone trying to get to their own rental that went to the wrong place. The other two times by the time I got to the door, there was no one there leading me to believe that it was someone trying to see if the house was unlocked to they could come in.
The third issue was the windows at the top of the house and the amazingly bright light that shown in at night. The light was so bright it almost seemed like daytime when I was trying to sleep. I was able to put the pillows from the house in the windows I could reach which helped a little, but there were some windows I could not reach that had a lot of light still come in.
Finally, while the location is nice that it is right by the entrance, it is not nice because it is right by the main hangout for everyone in the community so there never seemed to be any peace and quiet from children running around and yelling and screaming most of the weekend.
Again, I think it is a great cause, and would recommend looking more into this place, but overall my experience was not the best. It could be that this was an outlier based on the other, more positive reviews, but I did want to point the things out that caused me issues.
