Felt quite expensive for what felt like a room in a basement. Quite cramped with the homeowner’s stored belongings under the bed and in the drawers.
Host reply
Sorry Robert you felt cramped! There was extra duvets/blankets stored under the bed and bed linens in the drawer that belongs to the room! If you had mentioned you needed extra space that could have been moved! I still have your mail and shaver for pickup!

Great location and room is as described. Azmina is friendly and understanding overall. There were just too many spiders which affected my experience.
Host reply
Sorry Selin you were so scared of those tiny occasional harmless critter always looking for an extra hot room. You are the first one to mention this! I have been hosting guests since 2009 and no one has ever brought this up!
