Disliked: Communication
I was a bit disappointed in this place. I reached out to the host about the TV and internet not working and there was no response back, so we had a weekend of no TV or wifi. The place is ok for what you pay for.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
It was *noisy* due to being close to the busy road. The sound machines helped w/sleep - after we discovered them the second night. The shower was so small that we couldn't use it - we aren't large people. No ventilation in there either. The entire place reeked - of cigarette smoke? The bedside lamp in smaller bedroom wasn't plugged in - no outlet for it. The TP disintegrated on contact - haven't ever seen any that cheap or useless. One of the doorways was so low that my 6'2" husband had to duck to get through it. This was advertised as a tiny house. It was tiny indeed. It was tiny in an annoying way. The refrigerator did work and the roof didn't leak. It was near a charming downtown area. The wifi did work well.
