First off, Gwendolyn and her husband are super sweet. While they were kind, I didn’t have the best experience.
Check-in was quite terrible. Gwendolyn messaged me a few hours after booking that the water would be turned off for the first week for 8 hours a day. I was exhausted from 30 hours of flying and still wanted to go but long story short, I arrived and Gwendolyn had not even left the restaurant yet and was 35 minutes away. I decided to go to a hotel for the first week and Gwendolyn accommodated that but this was very frustrating seeing how tired I was.
One week later when I arrived I realized that the neighborhood was sketchy. The next door neighbors are outside a lot and there are gates on the doors including the apartment doors. Nighttime brings some neighborhood noise and I do not recommend walking this neighborhood at night. In the morning there are church bells, school bells, loud trash pickup and my last morning, the cops were on the corner due to something that happened overnight. The power in the bedroom flickers on/off when the AC (floor unit) is on, which is necessary since the apartment is on the 2nd floor and it gets warm. It’s not a bad apartment on the inside, it has all the necessities, but check-in needs to be improved and the neighborhood itself is just not a great neighborhood to be in. This neighborhood might be improved in the next 5-10 years but right now, it’s not the best Airbnb spot.
