The value for money is definitely too low. We payed approximately $500 for 7 nights. When we arrived, we were really disappointed as the house did not match the photos published online. We thought this was really unfair. The room was a lot smaller than expected. A day before we were scheduled to arrive, the host sent a message to alert that some woods would be piled up in her garden in view of constructing little houses for homeless people. Then she sent another message to alert that some problems with the sealink had occured in the living room. The amount of junk accumulated in the garden and in the house does not make this place attractive, nor welcoming, certainly not with such a high price. Since we had to stay another 4 weeks in seattle, should the host had proposed a discount (Which she did not), we would have left the house anyway as we did not feel comfortable (micro room) and the price was too high for such poor lodging conditions.

We will not return to this place. We had the feeling to have been mislead by the host as the photos do not match reality. Despite the host mentioning that her old house is under permanent remodelling, we do not think this is a fair treatment for guests. Trying to live on airbnb business could be done assuming quality and honesty about the place is there as this is based on trust. This was our first experience with airbnb and because of this unpleasant experience, we are not sure we will trust again airbnb to rent a place.
