Stay away at all costs. Me and my friend have stayed in this accommodation for 2 nights and each night I have woken up with bed bug bites on my neck and head. Until the owner decides to throughly clean the bathroom, rooms and beds in general I would highly avoid staying here. There is little to no privacy since one of the rooms is half separated by a flimsy wall and therefore any movement is easily heard That being said the price is fair and no safety concerns at all. This is really a last resort cheap place to stay!

Lack of parking

There was lack of parking on this property! Was unable too park in front of the house due to the fact of a bunch of rowdy teens outside the spot and had to park elsewhere which cost me getting my car towed due to lack of parking… I don’t think that’s right .. If you are hosting a hotel service make sure that there are parking for people too avoid issues like this

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY! . I arrived at night because flight delate , I notified owner few hours prior about it . Rude Man met me at the door and start bargaining on a "late charge " $100 witch amount is not indicated and can be as much as he wants and on a payment for a keys ( I did not have deposit $20 in cash ) and he wants to add $ 25 to the price of stay. After I was agreed to pay late charge but promise to get cash for a key in the morning he kicked me with my child outside on a street at 3 am ! Telling that Expedia will not support me with complaints or refunds and frightening me that I will stay on a street calling Expedia and eventually he will charge me as much as he wants or cancel my reservation because I arrived late . I end up CALLING POLICE and Expedia . Expedia is not care about clients , if you arrived late then host can cancel you reservation or charge late fee as much as he wants . Police told me that they dealing REGULARLY with calls regarding bad behaviour of this host from visitors .SO STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE . I received my money back after police talk to host .

The place is a death trap. Rooms are in basement with very narrow winding staircase. The fire exit is locked (serious violation), and all windows only open six inches. A death trap if a fire stats upstairs. He needs to be shut down.
