Zaida was very pleasant to deal with when we first began the process of booking the Airbnb and when we were checking in. When we first arrived the place based on photos and reviews was very different than expected. Not all appliances and objects were clean. We soon noticed that many of the neighbors were watching us—we at first wanted to brush it off but on the second night we decided to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the stars and one neighbor came out and asked who we were and where we were staying! Then moments later a cop came by and asked us questions as well. The only thing we were doing I repeat was sitting and enjoying the night . Now, we are all African American and the neighborhood is diverse but it definitely felt racial motivated. This persisted for the duration of the stay we just felt very uneasy. Now we didn’t expect to be welcomed with a parade or cookies but simple respect is all we wanted. It just felt overall weird.
Nonetheless, the location was convenient and close to downtown. The place did get hot but the AC came in handy. In the backyard there is an annoying bird that will keep you up at night if you are not a heavy sleeper.
Would recommend this place for people who don’t have to worry about racial profiling.
