"I stayed with my fiancé and his sister for 2 weekend nights, and we had a mostly positive experience. The unit was clean, but there was a musty smell to it that we noted as soon as we walked in. It is in a basement, so that’s the likely reason. The host graciously provided a dehumidifier and an air purifier to help with that issue. A major drawback for us was that the people above us were very loud and inconsiderate during our stay. It sounded like they were having a get together at one point,...
