Tim was a really nice guy and mostly kept to himself, which is great as I am a pretty private person. The pros to this place is that you get a LARGE, clean bedroom and your own very very clean bathroom for a very affordable price!

The cons are that there is an intense cloying odor, that your nose will never adjust to...I can't imagine what it is, but it might be from multiple fruit trays being dehydrated in the property (many are left out of the dehydrator for days, as well, as the condo is next to Tim's impressive side garden, where he harvests grapes and greens), and there is also a cat on the property, which is very sick at the moment. The smell at the front door/ground floor is intense, probably from the cat, and different from the smell on the 2nd floor, which is sweet/cloying and also intense. The smell does pervade where you will be staying as well (top floor). The cat currently is vomiting, and there was a small pile of vomit that was left to dry next to the sliding glass door for several days. I had a hard time eating in the dining room table as it was nearby.

The other thing is that the rest of the property isn't very clean, and there isn't really a "shared" space...meaning, no living room, no TV, and not even space to eat at the dining table (as the table is full of stuff).

Finally, Tim does not keep up with text messages and phone calls in a timely manner. For two days and nights in a row, I had to scramble to sleep elsewhere as the fire alarm battery went low and beeped for 48 hours straight. I texted AND called Tim several times, leaving messages. He is not at home at night, due to a night job. I had to wake up friends I had nearby at 2 am so I could crash with them, and the next day I called the AirBnB emergency line and they routed me to a $250/night hotel. For my pains, I was reimbursed $200 by AirBnB and Tim gave me an extra day's stay...but this was a spectacularly stressful experience, in my opinion.

Also be advised that there is NO INTERNET, and the futon is in need of a featherbed or some medium-soft support.

In all, I DO recommend this place, but with the caveat that you need to get all your needs met in real time with Tim, as he does not keep up on his phone in a timely fashion. Because of no Internet (in all fairness I did not check the amenities section of his page, which had "Internet" crossed out), I had to go to cafes everyday. This was good in a way, because it got me out into the neighborhood; however, I spent a lot of money that I could have saved if he had wifi at home.
