The area is as advertised - the house itself is safe but one street over there are people selling drugs on the corner. At no time did I feel unsafe - slept like a baby.
Pros:
budget price
garden like oasis surrounding
hot tub and outside seating
allowed to park in drive when owner in Brazil
Cons:
no microwave
no oven
No freezer
No broom/mop
On occasion other renters loud at night out on deck next to studio apartment.
Washer dryer never available - it looks like this has been removed from amenities
On street parking can be a challenge at best.
And when they say no refunds for any reason - you can take it to the bank, I was there on a covid assignment and the hospital cancelled the job after the first month. I asked if they would be willing to refund half the 2nd month because I am no longer employed and am not sure when I would be again and nope. They might refund some if anyone rents the month I have already paid for but otherwise - not going to do it. If you look close at the refund policy - you have to request a refund one hour before your arrival and then they will not give you anything back on the first month, so be sure you want to stay here before you pull the trigger as they will keep your money no matter the situation. They let me know this is their source of income. Doesn't matter that I will have to take money from my retirement funds to pay this. And when I explained this to them they let me know they didn't appreciate my comments.
