Pros
On the plus side, there was plenty of on street parking, the neighborhood was safe, and the bedroom was clean and comfortable.
Cons
The private suite is not all that private. The walls are really thin and the doors that are attached to the main house are even thinner. We could hear people clearing their throat, moving around, cooking, etc. a few feet away. We couldn't really have a private conversation in the bedroom where we stayed. There was no way for us to control the temperature in our bedroom so it got cold in the bedroom. On one of the nights it got cold, the host asked if we needed heat and we responded within 15 minutes stating yes please (We hadn't yet realized that we didn't have any thermostat controls in our bedroom). The host responded the next day stating she fell asleep and wasn't able to turn the heat on until the next morning.
Also, the kitchen and laundry were in a detached building in the back yard behind the house. The listing implied the kitchenette and laundry would be in our in-law suite. However, we had to actually travel through a side fence/gate and walk to the back the house to get there so we really didn't end up using the facilities.
The check-in time on the listing states 12:00 noon. We tried to check-in at 2:00 pm and booked this place due to the 12:00 noon advertised check-in time. We needed to be at an event by 4:00 pm. The host asked if we could check-in at 4:00 pm stating that she needed to clean the place. In the end, we were able to check-in at 3:00 pm but we only found out at 12:00 noon on the day of check-in. This was really stressful trying to manage our reservation at the last minute.
We needed to message the host to get several essential items, such as an iron and ironing board, toilet paper, and heat. We were finally able to get these items although sometimes not until the next morning.
