Last-minute booking. The area was nice—quiet and friendly, which I appreciated. However, I was surprised and disappointed to be charged an extra $40 for a late check-in. That detail wasn’t made clear up front, and it felt a bit unfair

Great location, host was very personable. The only issue was he gave us a handicapped room so the shower was a bit of a problem. My bad for not asking for another room. Overall, we'd stay there again.

The Bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. Both my fiancé and I had a horrible sleep and our backs were aching the whole day after. We barely slept with how uncomfortable it was.
