This place has very unusual decor. As is shown from the pictures, this place is covered in, eh, tacky art. It has a certain charm I suppose.
However, there are a few issues with the place as a rental. First off, it is a very unfinished basement. True, it is painted and the floors and walls are acceptable, but the ceilings are all unfinished with exposed wiring. I felt like I was in a garage the entire time.
The art, in addition to being kind of weird, is downright creepy or bizarre in some places. In an apparent effort to hide the bare unfinished ceiling above the bed, some very odd art is positioned so that when you are lying down you look up at an eerie picture of a soulless sheep and some octopus and bird pictures. Things are not facing the same direction and it was odd to fall asleep with that above.
The living room area had some large mural graphics of outlines of hounds with blood dripping from their mouths. There is another painting by the ping pong table with the same blood dogs running towards a baby. Again, creepy and not comforting. It was kind of like a horror film. Quirkiness is great, but that is a bit too on the macabre side in my opinion.
The big art picture behind the bed looked to be covered in some food or other sticky substance and we moved it.
The painting by the entrance, of the stereotyped Latino people creeped me out too.
Last creepy thing: the cover of the guest book was decorated and made to look like it was written in blood!!!
The place had a crumbly wall in one part but otherwise was clean.
The porthole on the front door looked very cool but was not very functional. Beware! Even when fully closed, someone from outside can see into all the living spaces including the sleeping area!!!
The amenities were great, as was location and functionality. And to be fair much of the decor was really neat.
Thank you for the hospitality. We slept well and were comfy and warm.
