I spent a long weekend with 12 girls at Mats Pad. The house was very nice and had enough space for all of us. Many of the reviews did indicate that it was close to the freeway and it definitely was. The house provided ear plugs for light sleepers which was a nice addition. Also, the location is very close to Rainy Street which was very convenient.
With the home being close to the highway there was a homeless camp right by the house. Our first day there we noticed one of the gates did not close all the way and there was a gap. We contacted the host. The host mentioned they were getting the gate fixed to close all the way like the other gate but they were waiting for a part. The first night we stayed at the house someone got onto the property and rang the doorbell and banged on the door aggressively at 3 am for about 5 minutes. All the girls were home and we all stayed in our bedroom and locked the doors. We saw a shadow outside the entry door and immediately called the cops. The cops showed up and saw a homeless person right outside of the property. The cops said they would do circles that evening to ensure we are safe. I contacted the host when this all happened but the call went straight to voicemail. I contacted the host again in the morning and they had someone come out that morning to chain the gate closed. As we checked out on Sunday we noticed the gate was no longer chained up so I am not sure when the chain was removed.
Other than the incident the first night the home was great but we definitely did not feel safe the remainder of the trip. I would not recommend this home for a family or group of girls due to our experience the first night.
