A very respectful and kind host who made me feel extremely safe in this house. He also responded to texts promptly throughout the day. I liked the check-in process and folder he gave with full information and suggestions as well as emergency contact information (which you would fill out as a guest, too)
Quiet, and beautiful neighborhood with easy access to multiple bus routes, different stores, and restaurants
Comfortable, sunny and well-equipped room with inner closet, multiple electrical plugs and extension cords, and extra cooling and heating units
The kitchen, even though, very small, has everything needed for cooking including food storage containers
The things I didn't like were the following:
Weak flushing toilet
Top shower tub facet not working!
Hard to close/lock the bathroom door properly (it should be fixed for ultimate comfort of guests)
Dusty, inorganized house
No washer, dryer, or iron (and the nearest laundromat is 25 minutes away by walking - no bus route. This wouldn't be convenient in winter for long-stay guests)
The other guest staying in the house didn’t clean the dishes well, didn’t flush the toilet every time he used it, and would sometimes throw tissues on the bathroom floor rather than the trash! He was also noisy at late night and would cook in the kitchen or move around the first floor. Similarly, Urban wakes up in early mornings (truth be told, he wasn't as noisy). As a light sleeper, both of them messed up my sleeping cycle and sometimes daily activities or schoolwork
