Like other people said it's just lots of little things. While the post was accurate, there were lots of general or implied hospitalities missing. The place was not very clean, there wasn't any counter space in the bathroom whatsoever, no drinkable water, 3 small disposable cups, the room smelled like cat. This is not a good place for two adults and one toddler to spend, it is perfect if you just want to stop in for the night and take a shower. All of these, by themselves are fine but it was just all of it together.
By far, the worst thing of all was the feeling of not being secure in the room. The host wouldn't have much control of this unfortunately, but it's an old house and there were several comings and goings in weird hours of the night, and every time it would happen the floor would creak loudly. The large gaps under the old doors don't do a single thing to dampen the sound of keys and conversation in the hallway. I'm not a country bumpkin. my family and I live in the middle of a downtown area. We're used to city noise at night but I woke up several times in a panic because it sounded like someone was in our room.
