Overall, my experience was negative so I'll start with the bad...
The basement was the main issue. It was quite dank, humid and smelled moldy. I encountered 4 insects during my stay. The first night, there was a millipede coiled up right beside the bed. Shortly after, I noticed an unknown bug crawling up the wall. It made it somewhat unsettling to relax for bed later. Overnight, I felt a bump in between my boxer tag and lower back and when I felt it with my fingers I shook it off and jumped out of bed in a panic. I turned the light on and lifted the sheets and revealed a spider. At least squished and dead by this time. I only slept a few hours. Night 2 I encountered a house centipede in the washroom which I ended up killing as well. The shower floor was creepy and could definitely use a lift. I rushed my showers as a result. It all made for a somewhat unsettling feeling anytime I was in the basement. I think a mixture of high humidity levels and darkness are creating the perfect habitat and breeding grounds for insects.
Upstairs, the fridge was dirty, especially the freezer. There were yellow stains and the ice cube trays were dirty too. The stove has seen better days.
My buddies stayed upstairs and one of them said there are squirrels in the walls and ceiling which startled him at times.
And now the good...
Great location. Residential, lots of trees, seemed a hip and trendy kinda neighborhood. A nice 45ish minute walk downtown where you can take the beautiful pedestrian only Stone Arch Bridge to cross the Mississippi while taking in the awesome skyline view.
I could tell there was an effort in upkeep and maintenance in the home, despite my reviews above, which I did appreciate.
Aside from the fridge, the entire upstairs was pretty clean. I did not notice anything that concerned me.
The bed downstairs I slept in was comfortable and even though the pillows weren't full sized, they were really comfy too.
With 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it was spacious and there were no feelings of being cramped at all. Great sized bnb.
