I wish I had spent a little more money and gone to a motel because this was an absolute nightmare of a house. There was dirt literally everywhere and it looked like the common areas, bathroom, and room hadn’t been swept in ages. The bathroom had grime and hair on the sink, floor and in the bathtub. The room was supposed to be two queen beds but instead was one twin and one queen and was super cramped and uncomfortable. The room was also supposed to have a “view” according to the listing but all we saw were the neighbors’ backyard as well as a huge pile of random trash. The soap dispenser in the bathroom had soap so diluted with water that we ended up using hand sanitizer to clean our hands. The listing also said it was close to downtown but it ended up being a 45-1 hour trip to downtown one way (bus and then train), and it was super inaccessible. Overall I’m really disappointed because the listing looked lovely and instead it ended up being super gross and really uncomfortable for all of us. Additionally there were a ton of people there and the lock on the door for our room was super broken down and could easily have been opened. I’m also pretty sure that mould/dust in the house is the reason my friend got sick the first night we were there. I have stayed in cheaper places that have been nicer than this and it was so awful to have this trip ruined for us. Our friend group was meeting for the first time in over 8 months and it was such a let down as the host seemed really nice and down to earth. We definitely learned our lesson to do more research and to plan further in advance to book a better place for New Years in the future.
