Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Speaking with someone was quicker by phone than through email or the app. Everything was clean, we needed more hand towels but I did not request more, I was told that we would get more hand towels I just needed to make a call and I didn't do that. I kept getting side tracked with family things. We had no issues with any of the neighbors, parking is limited but it states that online. ##### Kim W. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alinna M. Mar 16, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy First and foremost when you pull up to the location it immediately feels unsafe. You have a porch of people in a half boarded up home across the street yelling vulgar things as a good of females pulled up. This continued all night long, as a group of females we already felt unsafe, but to make matters worse the garage door that attached to the home did not lock. Once you walked in the door the musk smell mixed with odor eaters. It quite literally made me gag, I couldn’t breathe. The down stairs area with the arcade had such a horrible odor of musk and mold that it was hard to breathe. I am highly allergic to mold so my stay was absolutely horrible. Even with all the odor covering items that were strategically placed you could still smell the The heavy heavy smell of mildew. I will never stay here again & will never suggest it to anyone I know. 10/10 do not recommend. Very very unsafe area. ##### Alinna M.
