I’d be very careful staying here! I just got cancelled from the owner forNow reason whatsoever! Got a call from them 10 days before I was supposed to arrive. I don’t think they know what the hell is going on!!! This sucks!!

Overall a nice stay for us. It was extremely hard to locate the property in the dark. And the cleaning lady showed up while we were still there. Only feedback is a little better communication would be helpful!

Half of a duplex near Rt 23 in DeKalb. Met our needs. Good communications with host. Garage (with direct entrance into unit) is a plus.

House not ready to rent

Nice neighborhood and plenty of parking. Air conditioning was an issue the whole time because the unit is too small to cool the place consistently. Nice to have a garage but you had hit the button numerous times to get it to close. One of the beds would literally cave down in the middle because bed frame missing a slat. Had to sleep in the other room where we hung bath towel over window to keep neighbor security light from shining on our faces. Kitchen was decent but overall place seemed slapped together so it could be rented.

After stepping down from the house into the garage, there is another step down a few feet later-very surprising-causing a bit of a stumble. Would be good if second stepdown was marked with bright color.
