The host was friendly and did a great job of renovating the house, but you can tell in some areas the house is a little run down. The house is clean, smelled good, beds were very comfortable, the house had everything we needed, the waterfall/rainfall shower was awesome, plenty of fresh towels, and the ping pong table in the basement was fun. There's a bunk bed in the basement, but I don't think it's a sufficient place to sleep, more like a hang out instead. I don't know much about the area. Some houses were nice and others not so much. The house is behind a school and near the highway. We stayed for 2 nights and the neighborhood was pretty quiet.
