This places feels completely UNSAFE! I stayed with my 12yo daughter for 1-2 night before trying to cancel because we felt very unsafe. I am from America and would compare the neighborhood to Harlem/East Harlem.
As we walked home the first night It felt a little sketchy. The second night as we walked home there was about 5-7 men in the street laughing at their friend who was passed out or hurt just laying half on the side walk and half in the street.
I’ve stayed in many airbnbs all over the world and never felt this uncomfortable before in a neighborhood. I would never just cancel or leave a place but after seeing the hang of men in the street that one evening all I could think about was my daughter or myself getting raped. I asked nicely for a refund but Dora would not budge. We ended up moving to the Ibis in the Bastille for $150/night that had an elevator, heat, Wi-Fi and plenty of good restaurants. We felt very safe in the hotel and this is a lesson we learned. It’s just so sad…
