This was the first Airbnb place that I declined to stay upon arrival. The heading says that the place is "near Rino" and I should have paid more heed to that. The reality is that it's in a sketchy neighborhood that may feel safe to the residents who live there, but doesn't feel safe if you know the Rino district well (as I do), and realize once you're in the neighborhood that it very much isn't Rino. Men may feel safe staying there, but as a woman traveling alone, I felt unsafe. My son lives in Rino and I have stayed in various locations in Rino 4 times since last fall, so we are familiar with the area of Rino.
The interior of the place also doesn't really reflect reality. There were stains on the couch, and in general, the rooms looked much drearier than the photos. The back bedroom? Totally depressing. And of course there were no photos of the exterior, which I again should have taken note of, because that would not have been a selling point. I let the owner know the evening I arrived that the place did not meet my expectations and that I was staying with my son for the night to think it over. I did get a prompt response, but the manager Kathleen, not the owner Joey, went on to describe the Rino area, not the area of the house, and said the neighborhood is indeed safe. Knowing what I know about the area, I choose to stay elsewhere.
