Roland was a very nice and responsive host. The place was very clean and loved how he turned the closet into a little office in the yellow suite. I actually ended up getting in early and Roland let me check in and shower which was a life saver! I was on a train for two days and needed to shower and change.
The house itself was great. Very clean and very organized. Only downside is there are no locks on the bedroom doors. Roland mentioned he rents out 5 rooms which is fine but that also made me super uncomfortable sleeping at night and when I left for the day. At night I would put all my luggage next to the door that way if anyone tried to come in, I would at least wake up. Then during the day, I was lucky to have a rental car so I threw my valuables in the trunk of my car.
He was very eager to give me suggestions on what to do. He seems to know his state and city very well. I will say though, I mentioned I wanted to have as much nature experience as I can and he suggested going on a ferry ride.....this was the biggest waste of my time and hated it. It literally wasted an entire day of the 2 days I had to explore :/ for me personally, I decided maybe just to figure out my own things to do next time. I still appreciated his help because his intentions were good but I only had two days there and one was completely wasted.
Overall this was a great spot. Great for the price for sure! Not sure if I’d stay here again but Roland himself made me feel comfortable being in his living space which I found comforting as I can sometimes be shy.
