Three stars. Fine for short-term stay, definitely not a long-term option. Pros: if you are just a tourist like me staying for two nights while being out during the day, it is an acceptable choice. Price is the lowest compared with other listings in the area. Washer & dryer were useful while detergent was provided. Host is responsive to requests and complaints and generally accommodating. Place is clean. The host provided sightseeing advice.
Cons: host lives with two small kids who are very active at early morning running around making a lot of noises waking me up both morning at 6-7 am. It could be actually an advantage if you need to be pushed to get up early to explore the city. But it would be a disaster if you sleep for more than a week and this will wear you down. The floor between the first floor and basement has bad sound insulation. After I was woken up by the stepping noise the first morning, I played Youtube videos on my bluetooth speaker when I took a shower as I assumed everyone in the house was up already. Then the host told me to turn the volume down. I did. But then I complained that I was woken up by the running footsteps earlier, the host told me to wear ear plugs. That response was infuriating, but I said nothing. The second night, the stepping noise was a lot lower, so the host did accommodate to my complaint. It is tricky to check in at night, since the key pad is not lit at all until you touch it. But as soon as you touch it, you have input a number already which is likely to be wrong. When the first floors conduct cooking, the basement (the listing) would catch a lot of kitchen smell and that made me cough. The listing promised “parking on premise” but what was offered actually was on-street parking which though was not difficult.
