You don't always get a timely response to a booking request. Many will not respond if you call to inquire if the room is still available when it's been rented, but it's not indicated on the site anywhere (option doesn't exist, ad not taken down). A few of the folks with ads were just trolling to see who would show up. Once you received an address to go meet with the Renter/landlord and see the room, no one was home or they wouldn't answer the door. One guy gave me a time to come by his home, then emailed that he had to go pick up his car which was parked elsewhere, so I just cancelled. I don't like playing games- don't make an appointment and then decide you need to do something else. The homes that had more than 1 room to rent had multiple people using 1 bathroom. One entry in an older home had a loose handrail going up the steps to the front door and crumbling concrete; it was obvious that regular maintenance and repairs weren't being done. Add to that the weird oddities cluttering his small yard and on the porch that diminished any welcoming aspect to the home. There were many steep stairs to the upstairs rental. Many are not handicap accessible. I quit using Roomies.com because of these problems. Morristown and Johnson City, TN areas.
Due to privacy issues and the fact that I did not rent at any of these places, I have no photos or receipts.
