What recent reviews say
Most guests report serious problems: unresponsive messaging, surprise charges after booking, and maintenance failures including water outages and broken fixtures. A few five-star reviews mention comfort and space, but they lack detail. The weight of complaints centres on host responsiveness and financial transparency.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
