ADEQUATE on SHORT NOTICE
Adequate for one night on short notice. The 150 price is misleading. Our total cost was 355. Neighborhood is modest. General feel is outdated and decor is overkilled. Be sure to read the ample house rules, or the price will go up.On the positive side, hosts were responsive and accommodating.
