Absolute Disaster
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

⭐ 0/5 — ZERO STARS. Would give negative if I could.

Let me paint you a picture of my absolute disaster of a stay at this glorified cave: I booked for 2 nights, paid in full, showed up with reasonable expectations (electricity, perhaps?), and left after Day 1 like a refugee fleeing a sinking ship.

The unit had NO POWER. Not a flicker. Not a dim glow. Complete, total, pitch-black darkness — because apparently functioning electrical wiring is considered a "premium upgrade" here. I couldn't shower properly, couldn't charge my phone, couldn't see my hand in front of my face. This is not a hotel stay. This is a camping trip I did NOT sign up for.

The host? Completely unreachable. Ghost mode activated. I called, texted, probably sent smoke signals — nothing. Zero. Silence louder than the darkness in that room.

When this clown FINALLY surfaced, instead of a single syllable of apology or any attempt to fix the disaster HE rented me, he had the sheer audacity — the UNHINGED NERVE — to blame ME. Apparently, turning on the AC (a unit HE provided, in a building HE manages) caused a "fuse to blow up." So according to this genius, the GUEST is responsible for his building's catastrophically inadequate electrical infrastructure. Absolutely jaw-dropping logic.

So let me get this straight: I paid for a fully-functioning unit, got a dark box, was abandoned by the host, forced to find and pay for a SECOND hotel out of my own pocket, got blamed for HIS broken property, and — the cherry on top of this catastrophe sundae — HE HAS STILL NOT REFUNDED ME FOR THE NIGHT I DID NOT STAY.

This is not just bad hospitality. This is theft dressed up in a listing with nice photos.

Do yourself a favour and book literally anywhere else. A park bench has better infrastructure and the squirrels won't bill you for it.

Read this review before you book
Pros:

Absolutely Nothing

Cons:

The room temperature was fixed at 24°C, which was extremely hot and uncomfortable. The window was broken and wouldn’t stay open, there was no fan, and the thermostat was locked, leaving me with no way to adjust the temperature. I contacted the host about this but received no response.

Additionally, the property has four bedrooms sharing just one washroom, which is highly inconvenient. The lighting system is fully sensor-based and kept turning off every few minutes with no manual switches available, making basic activities like eating very frustrating. There were also cameras throughout the property, which felt invasive and made the stay very uncomfortable.

The bed itself was in very poor condition. The mattress was old and visibly worn out, with a noticeable sag in the middle that made it uncomfortable to sleep on. It felt sunken in and did not provide proper support at all.

Overall, the lack of basic amenities, poor maintenance, and unresponsive host made the stay unacceptable. I’m never coming back to this place

Great place for the price and had everything we needed. But parking is not actually available.
Pros:

It was cheap, and quite good. It was a great place to stay. Comfy bed, great bathroom, large kitchen and living room, only 2 other rooms so it's not too many people in one space.

Cons:

It says that parking is one of their popular amenities, and then when I asked they said to use street parking, which was almost impossible. We had to park a 7-10 minute walk away. I was also told that we would just get charged an extra 20 dollars if we stayed after 10 but before 11. But they came and knocked on the door at 10:05 and said we needed to leave soon, lol.
