PROS: host auto-accepted my reservation (two other hosts ignored my reservation requests), home was in a convenient location, easy to find and easy self-check in/out instructions. Private entrance through side yard gate. Clean bedroom and comfortable bed, Mini fridge and microwave in room. Bathroom was fully stocked with soap/shampoo/body wash.
CONS: as another guest pointed out, noise. “Active family” in small home was an understatement. Rude and inconsiderate neighbors had a party on a Thursday night (extremely loud and obnoxious till 3am.) Bathroom had no floor mat/towel and shower door opens and splashes water on the floor.
The noise wasn’t an issue for me though as I always bring earplugs wherever I go as you can have the same problem virtually anywhere you stay. I’m still leaving a 5* review as the price was right and the pros outweighed the cons.
