My partner and I stayed at room 3 for 1 month and we were hoping to extend the lease for at least one more month, but luckily we didn't rent it all at once because we had such a BAD TIME at Mike's place.
We thought that we were gonna bump into such a great host, as other reviews said so, but it turns out that he's the rudest and most disrespectful host we've ever stayed with.
It says on the post that you have a living room to sit in, a TV and common spaces where to be comfortable in but Mike's always on the couch watching TV, so that is really not a provided service (because there are no TVs in the rooms) and he would even kick us out from common spaces, so he would literally force us indirectly to stay in our room the entire stay.
Unfortunately we got covid during our stay and we told him about it as soon as we started having some symptoms, we asked him if we could eat in our room just to keep the other guests and himself safe, and he wouldn't even care at first (he wouldn't even use a mask and in fact said that it was just a cold).
We weren't able to be in the bathroom for more than 30 minutes because he would come and hurry us up, which if you wanted to go for the 2nd and then take a shower, you wouldn't be able to do it all at once 🙃.
We chose this house because we wanted to have a kitchen where to cook something, and not having to be constantly ordering take outs, but it turns out that Mike would be controlling you every time you try to cook, he would be giving you orders and making faces whenever you were even boiling water, so it clearly makes you feel uncomfortable and not welcomed and we wouldn't even cook because of that. He complains a lot about food odors but he smokes weed 4 times a day minimum, which means that the house is filled with weed smell. Ironic, right?
He has signs hanging all over the house with different rules but he wouldn't even follow or would complain if we did exactly what they said so. We're certainly sure that we have followed every rule he asked us to, and respected his house as if it was ours; but he was the rudest and so unpleasant anyways.
Apart from the pain in the ass that he has been, he was so disrespectful. We couldn't believe that a host, who didn't even knew us, yelled at us as if he was our parent somehow (and he yelled at us because of covid, when we tried to tell him that we were having symptoms; and when we explained again this to him, he hid behind the excuse that English is not his first language, and it's not ours either)
We wouldn't recommend Mike's house if you're planning to stay for more than a week there. We are so happy that we got the hell out of there because he made our stay in Seattle so unpleasant, it's not worth it to travel or stay in a beautiful city if you are staying in a house where you're clearly not welcomed nor treated with respect.
