I stayed at Karan’s for nearly three weeks while waiting for my escrow to close. While her place is adorable, it comes at a cost. The neighborhood is sketchy. There is only street parking often forcing you to walk through a strange neighborhood late at night. The street nearby is full of campers and vans making the area feel unsafe. The unit she is renting is listed as “Private pool” it is used by others in the household. The walls, floors, and ceiling fans in the house are covered in dust.
All of this I would normally over look, but the experience was made especially awkward for several reasons. First being I never met Karan, only her husband. Second I was constantly harassed about turning the AC off in the unit. There were several occasions where he would pop his head out the front door, ask if all was well- then proceeded to follow me to my car.
They would call or text daily asking me to turn off the AC in + 100° weather and only one small unit for the apartment.
I felt watched constantly as we had to pass by the front entrance to access the unit in the back.
All in all this place was creepy. Never again.
