Rough start to an otherwise decent stay. The place was 62 F when I stepped in with no working heater other than a portable heater - which was in a closet in the bedroom. The host kept referring to a wall heater unit (as if I am supposed to know where this is). There was a thermostat dial in the main living room - which was a dummy thermostat that was not connected to anything. The "wall heater" was actually in the bedroom, but painted over, with no working dial. I had to scrape off paint in order for the wall unit to start, and it smelled terrible when heating up.
The host was responsive, but unclear about the heater situation and kept insisting that the previous long term resident had no issues staying through the winter months. Eventually they had a 2nd portable heater delivered, and that kept the place warm - albeit with a fair amount of noise.
The place was also not clean when I stepped in with hair everywhere - especially in the kitchen and bathroom.
Overall, the place is actually very decent, and in a great neighborhood. I just wished the host took the heating situation seriously, and the cleaners did a more thorough job between residents.
