The owner didn’t give clear instructions how to check in. When I talked to him, he was very disrespectful, not listening, rude , even threatening me he was gonna cancel my reservation and calling police if I didn’t leave.

Nice apt. Owner seemed to be upset bc I used the bed-cot to sleep on and requested an iron. It was comfortable. Would suggest using a monitor light when you come into the porch. Thanks so much.

As reflected in my ratings, my stay in Dan's place was great. Easy check-in and check-out, clean, good location. Unpleasant part: Due to some booking confusion which was easily and quickly solved, the manager/owner of the property ended up owning me a refund. He attempted to withhold it as leverage for a positive review.

Don’t waste your time

I didn’t stay because there were no instructions nor anyone picking up my repeated phone calls to get assistance into an Air B&B which I thought was a hotel because I book on hotels.com, not Air B&B.com. I could not get a refund because of their “policy”, but couldn’t get no one to assist me to even enter the property. Unprofessional business practice and I can wipe my butt with their policy.

Would book again

It was decent for the price. I had a private bathroom there was a park around the corner. Dunkin’ Donuts in walking distance My only concern was it was on the second floor. I had to pull 2 pieces of luggage up 2 flights of stairs
