What recent reviews say
Recent guests praise the clean, comfortable rooms and calm atmosphere, with an owner many find easy and responsive. Yet older reviews surface serious friction: owners dispute charges, blame guests unfairly, and pest infestations went unresolved. The gap between five-star repeats and one-star warnings suggests a recent shift, though cost clarity and maintenance remain open questions for longer stays.
The homestay offers self check-in, big beds, tidy decor, and a location near IKEA and 24-hour eateries. Families and short-term visitors respond well, but previous guests point to hidden fees, WiFi dropout, and an owner prone to friction when problems arise.
Recent shift: Sharp divide by date: reviews from 4-5 months ago are uniformly one-star, citing owner rudeness, unfair charges, and pest infestations. Reviews from past month are mostly five-star, praising cleanliness and owner kindness. Suggests either a management or quality shift, or possibly different guest cohorts.
