In short, this place is good for a short-term stay, but not for a long-term stay. Or if all you need is just a room and a bed, this place is good enough.
Pros: 1. The host is very communicative. 2. The location is good enough. 3. If you will be on a short-term stay, you have a room and a bed, which is good enough.
Cons: I am writing based on my long-term stay experience. 1. The room is poorly maintained. The bedframe is the cheapest, thin metal frame which makes noise every time you toss and turn. Things in the bathroom were falling apart and the bathtub was grossly moldy. In the bathroom drawers and cabinet, I found a bunch of random stuff that someone used, which I think the drawers should be cleaned and emptied before hosting me. 2. The description says you get a "patio" which is actually a common area, not exclusively for you. And the patio is filled with spider nets so you can't use it anyways. 3. No basic household essentials were available for bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen. I ended up buying them myself and left them there for next guests. When I asked for a vacuum cleaner to clean my room, my roommate gave me a broom which kind of shocked me. 4. There is no clear guideline on what I can use. Everything in the common area belongs to the roommate who is the host's family member and I was under an impression that the guest can't use it because when I asked for something, the host responded me "it belongs to the roommate". 5. I felt like the roommate was supervising me. She is a nice lady but she had some rules that I had to follow. For example, she told me not to do laundry often because it raises her bills. 6. Too expensive for what you get. I paid closed to $9k for 3 months, and what I got was a poorly maintained room and a private bath, with a shampoo, hair conditioner, body wash, hand wash and ONE roll of toilet paper (and the limited number of laundry lol). They were extremely stingy and I was under the impression that they don't care about the guest's experience during the stay, but they just want to make money out of the guest. Overall, I hated my 3 months here and I couldn't wait to move out, which I moved out 2 days earlier than what I booked.
