I would SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER any listings under Joseph & Elva. It was one of the worst experiences I’ve had to deal with; this ended in an immediate next day check out due to the uncomfortable situation the host put my group under.
Our check-in time was switched 5 hours later with >12 hour notice. We had to find a place to store our luggage ourselves. After arriving, the host was not at the listed Airbnb address, but at the building next door at a dark, not well lite backdoor street location. The host led us down steep stairs to the backdoor entrance. Address provided is inaccurate.
After the backdoor, the security guard questioned us and the host quickly brushed them off. The elevator walls are covered with “NO SHORT TERM AIRBNB STAYS”. The host assures us the security guard is not an issue and asked us to sneak into the building and lie to any security guards if asked.
It seems to be a continued pattern of sketchy practices by Joseph & Elva’s in multiple locations. DO NOT RECOMMEND
