Gut: Kommunikation und Lage
Verbesserungswürdig: Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
Zero security to your room and zero privacy
Staying here is like staying at your friends house where the dad is always around and you feel like he is suspicious of all you do and watching your every move. The owner is ALWAYS outside when you enter and when you leave; doing nothing. When we first got there he asked "what's the plan" and we felt uncomfortable. It didn't feel conversational; it felt like he wanted to judge what we were up to. He wants to know where you are going and when you come back, he wants to know what you did.
The upstairs bedroom has 1 king bed and a large bathroom. It also has a staircase leading down into his house that only locks from his side. There is absolutely nothing keeping him from entering your space. Let's just say, when we left the air conditioner was at 67 and when we came back it was at 72. Draw your own conclusions.
The downstairs bedrooms are NOT as pictured. The red one is (with the 2 dressers and wood wall paneling) but the other one I've never seen. In reality, the 2nd bedroom is the bed you see when you first come in and the kitchen is in the room with it.
We were already concerned about the staircase to the owners home, with no lock on our side upstairs, but then we called because a wasp got in downstairs and we couldn't get it out. He sent his son? downstairs to help us, but instead of coming through our front door, he came through a door in the back bedroom that, once again, only locks from their side. We thought it was just a locked closet before this.
So make no mistake, this is their home and you have no level of privacy or security.
About us. We were 6 women who came to hike in New Paltz. We were in by 11pm each night (the curfew is posted on the wall downstairs), didn't drink alcohol, weren't loud at night and were respectful of the house. I travel extensively and rent from here and never have I had a host be so "intrusive" and the rental be so unsecure.
