The other reviews on Air BnB did not prepare me for the following:
1. House smelled like a cat box. Dozens of cats urinate on premises and the smell was high pitched and disgusting.
2. Location felt unsafe: Upon entering the neighborhood be prepared for graffiti everywhere, an infestation of ferile cats, garbage, run down buildings, loitering men, and lengthy distances to any tourist or middle class area.
3. Home has no living room. If you want to hang out with your party at home you can only sit in a cramped entry way or a cramped kitchen. No tvs.
4. Hosts have unwelcoming notes everywhere in the Air BnB that regulate everything from the number of scoops of coffee, when to open windows (no fan bathroom vent), and you cannot even flush toilet paper down the homes pipes (… gross to not provide a covered trash receptacle.)
5. Hosts were argumentative. We were told that the cat urine smell we ALL (4) experienced was actually a cleaning product. It was not.
