Travelers please be alert. This host will enter your room freely to conduct “inspections” without notification, your presence, or your permission. If you do not think a host need to respect the guest’s privacy, go ahead and book this room; if you think the host at least need to notify you before moving your personal stuff around, DO NOT BOOK this property.
Here is what happened during my ten-week stay: The door could not be locked from either side. I lost several hundred dollars of cash as a possible result of her inspections. She never inspected my room when I was at home. She used a torch to PEEK into my room from under the door at midnight. She did not admit she entered the room until I proved to her. She lied about taking pictures in my room without hesitation. She requested to charge me several hundred dollars for moving a cabinet WITH wheels around (before she added not moving furniture in the listing). She removed the cabinet from my room without notification. She blamed me for using too much toilet paper when I took a very reasonable amount—yes, she followed me into the bathroom. She was extremely reluctant when people used her paper towel to clean up the kitchen—not even one fold of it. She FORCED me to sit at the dining table when she and her friend were having a conversation on the same table. The other tenant in the house used dish sponge to wipe the dirty floor. There were tons of ants in the house almost every day, in the kitchen, the cupboard, and the bedroom. I saw at least two flies in the house per day. Her compost bin and cats terribly smelt. She made loud noice in the kitchen and talked loudly at late night even though she said no loud noice after 10 pm in the house manual.
In addition, neither the bedroom or the bathroom has actual curtains: either transparent or no curtain at all, so no comfortable sleep-ins on weekends.
Fairly easy access to downtown was the only pro. My worst Airbnb experience ever.
