It was....fine. I'm sure the hosts are very nice people but the experience staying there definitely left a lot to be desired. The TV didn't really work. The internet was pretty slow and it's frustrating to use if you need it for work. The shower doesn't have hot water for very long. Getting to the laundry room was a process because the key that i was supposed to use to get to it didn't work and then the code that was supposed to allow me get in only worked some of the time. It has AC but it's one of those portable units so it doesn't work great. The location had good proximity to stuff but it's not the hip area the ad says. It's close to North Central University which I had never actually heard of but it doesn't feel like a college neighborhood. It's close to HCMC so there's a lot of siren noise. The parking lot is a block away and is uncovered so you might feel a little uneasy if you have a nicer car. I don't think it's a bad place to stay but I also don't think it's a very good value for what you get. If it was 30% cheaper I would have maybe felt better about it. Still tho.
