BELIEVE IN THE BAD REVIEWS!!!! 0 STARS FOR THIS PLACE. When I booked this AirBnB, I did not think much about the bad reviews until I arrived and experienced what the previous travelers also did. So, I am going to summarize everything that happened during my stay.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BOOK THIS PLACE:
1). BREAK IN = A break in occured on the morning of July 14, 2022 around 6 am PT. I was asleep and awoke to someone trying to open my door in which they were successful to. I did not see who it was because they saw me looking back at them and closed the door quickly. However, all I know is that it was more than one person. They stole stuff in the living room and was arrested by the police. I would not recommend booking this place since there was a break in and who knows how many they had before this one?
2). DIRTY = Don't trust the pictures - it's all a lie. The shared living room, bathrooms, and kitchen is absolutely horrendous. For example, the living room has a bunch of fruit fly and other insects everywhere. The bathroom is always out of toilet paper and wet with water. The kitchen is nasty and full of unclean dishes, as well as filled up trash cans. The cleanest area is probably your room.
3). UNSAFE = One thing that I hated the most when living at this place was that someone did not close the front door. They would leave the front door open during the day and sometimes at night which caused me great anxiety knowing that someone might possibly break in. Also, the neighboorhood is kind of sketchy so please do your research before booking any AirBnB.
4). HOST PROBLEMS = Two red flags with this host - they don't know their own cancellation policy and they are not the best people to work with when it comes to refund. For example, when the break-in happened, they became very defensive about me leaving and kept insisiting that would change the key locks. That should tell you a lot about money > safety.
Please choose wisely everyone.
