We should have known the listing would be shady when the host admits they did not list the location properly on the map.
Self checkin was easy with clear instructions, however the room was horrendous. The room was extremely dirty, to the point we felt unsafe staying in the room. There was rust everywhere, black mold in the shower and walls, huge brown stains on the lampshade, curtains, and bedding. There was even a brown handprint on the bathroom door. We were honestly scared for our health inside the room. The “heating” the host provides is a tiny space heater and the window is not sealed, so it was freezing in January.
The neighborhood is not safe. A street parking pass is technically provided, however you’ll most likely have to park 2 or 3 blocks away. While on the same street as the room, we witnessed a drug deal occurring in the open.
Airbnb did their best to make the situation right so we do not blame Airbnb. But this host should not be allowed to list this health hazard here.
