I am grateful for the last minute, very economical stop over. There was a decently comfortable bed with a mattress topper and cover, and all the basics were provided for. He doesn’t charge a cleaning fee, and asks you to change the sheets. I actually don’t mind changing the sheets at all… but that is far from the only cleaning that is necessary as an Airbnb. Nothing was horrible, but Im sure surfaces were not wiped down and the carpets were not vacuumed. If you have strong pet or dust allergies, this is not the place for you. The shower/tub (at the time of my visit) was also in serious need of repair.
Some hosts are just business and some hosts like to… well, “host”. Ken is the former. He has a simple system of making sure people have the info and the items that they need. Check in was a breeze. Not a lot of pleasantries or warm welcome, but not everyone wants that. We didn’t communicate past that, but he was thorough enough in his set up, that I imagine if I had a specific question or concern he would have gotten back to me.
Listen. It got the job done for cheep, and It could have been much worse. Sometimes a good price is a great deal, and sometimes it’s reflective of the services offered. I’d say, in this place, you get what you pay for. A private room with a door that locks, a decent bed, access to a shared bathroom, and it’s not filthy. Nothing more, nothing less.
