This is a solid 3 star.
Things I liked:
1. Good price for a room in Silicon Valley
2. Host response is in general quick
3. Free parking
Things I disliked:
1. Check in was a mess - Was told that the key is in a lock box but it wasn’t. Had to wait outside for more than an hour for someone to let me in
2. Ants! Loooots of ants!!! (See the attached picture)
3. Room does not dissipate heat well and the host seems unwilling to turn on the AC (you don’t have control over AC) The fan is almost useless.
4. Neighbor’s dog barking very loudly at night.
5. The area is in general unsafe at nighttime.
6. The wall is very thick and I got warned by the host several times for doing normal activities like opening doors and taking a shower. She even threatened to cancel my booking, which is really rude, and I had to call Airbnb to step in.
