My boyfriend and I stayed here for three months.
Pros:the room is spacious enough with good storage space. The closet had loads of space.
-The bathroom seems new and is in the room.
-The maid, josefina, was also very helpful in solving house issues. If you’re staying long term, she also cleans your room once a week.
-The host was responsive and helpful in
solving issues.
-Washer/dryer is in the unit. The kitchen also has enough appliances, utensils, and storage space
- location was decent since it was close to downtown.
Cons:
-the basement is rented out so often you’ll get people knocking on the main house door trying to get in. And particularly in this room, you can hear everything happening downstairs, especially during parties ( which is almost every wknd). The walls are thin.
- i would not consider staying here long term because there are two other rooms in the house that are being rented. So you are constantly getting new roommates, and sometimes they arent great roommates. the shared space is pretty small.
-There was a mouse problem. Mice went through food, my bags, the bed, etc. although ultimately my boyfriend ended up taking care of them, the host did send mouse traps with the maid and tried to help.
-There are also roaches despite the kitchen being clean.
-It is difficult to find street parking.
