I rated this 5 Stars for:
--The Host is friendly, responsive, and helpful.
- A terrific location ( 2 minutes to a major highway, 10 minutes to several good restaurants and a grocery store, 15 minutes to TMS).
-The space is kept Very clean
- The price can't be beat
There are a few unique things you might want to know about.
-As stated in the description, you are renting a room. This isn't the norm where it's a room inside the main house with a living room, kitchen, ect. Two rooms have been completly shut off from the main living area. Picture a "T".
Enter through the front door to a foyer of about 5 feet. Immediately turn left where there is a closet with a mini fridge and microwave, next to a bedroom. Directly across is the 2nd bedroom that shares a wall with the bathroom. You will definitely be aware if someone is taking a shower next door. Maybe ear plugs for a light sleeper? Other than hearing the other guest, it's nice and quiet.
-The rooms are compact, and have the necessities. A bed, a small desk, an end table. The "yellow" room has another mini fridge.The bed is extremely FIRM. I bought an air mattress which worked fine. (I left it behind, so you can maybe get from Alex if needed.)
-There isn't a window in the bathroom or hallway so there is an exhaust fan that runs on a sensor to reduce the heat and humidity. There are windows in each bedroom which provide plenty of ventilation.
-As mentioned Alex keeps the place immaculate. When I arrived he was mopping and cleaning, and last night around midnight he was cleaning out the hall refrigerator. He takes great pride in his property!
-He couldn't be a nicer Host and had excellent restaurant suggestions. Of note is Babe's chicken, and the Itallian Bistro, both in Roanoke.
This is the perfect place if you are looking for a budget- friendly sleeping room.
