Pros:

Nothing the owner was extremely rude and because he instantly judged me and asked me for a $500 deposit which on here it said he asked for no deposit

Cons:

He was extremely rude and disrespectful. He profiled me by what I guess was my looks and decided I should give 3 times the amount to rent the room as a security deposit and told me whatever it said online didn't apply to what he's telling me now in person
