Facts:
Old grungy home with multiple apartments. Noisy upstairs. Brooms and trash bags at entrances. Multiple steps down from street, no handicap anything.
Bed barely made with possible unclean linens, zero blankets. Dirty glasses. No kitchen knives. Stale smokey odor. Old air conditioner that did not cool. Gross used dirty hand/dish soap. Old curtains, soiled couch cushions.
We could over look the lack of knives, the two dirty glasses and (barely) the smoky smell. However, the bed linens, no air conditioner and a sense of being unclean did it for us. This place was more like an old dorm room.
In fairness - the host did communicate (to a point). College town or not, this place was not welcoming and totally over priced. On street parking & busy road. What "woodsy" retreat?
