"Zero stars. Worst place I've ever stayed. The place looked nothing like the photos and was in rough condition. The mattress was terrible, lights flickered constantly, and the host showed no interest in addressing any issues. We only stayed because it was the biggest holiday weekend of the year and every alternative was outrageously expensive or unavailable. Would not stay here again and you should not either. You will feel like you are sleeping outdoors and the price is almost hotel rates."
