poor welcome overpriced experience
The location was central. It had parking.
The host wasn't cute at first. They answered the door saying they were on the phone after i knocked. the bedroom was okay, but the room wasn't serviced properly after the first night. Bins weren't emptied. the stay felt overpriced for the overall experience.
