Apartment was hard to find and while trying to find it I witnessed not 1 but 2 drug deals go down outside during the day.
The room was as described but the host doesn’t stay there so you’re basically sharing a ghetto flat with total strangers. I felt super unsafe staying there as a female solo traveler. I booked a hotel and left. Thankfully there was a taxi driver just outside. I flagged him down as I dodged a stray pitbull (no joke). As we were driving out he confirmed my feelings saying he would never stay in that area. He said “you have those in America too. I think they’re called projects”.
I phoned AirBnB to report what happened and that I didn’t feel safe in that area. That didn’t care. Only that the apartment itself wasn’t a safety hazard. The host didn’t care either. You get what you pay for folks. Lesson learned.
