The first night till 3 in the morning, in front of our windows there was a very loud music, screaming, aggressive arguing. No sleep possibilities.
On the second night in front of our windows, shots from a firearm, a house surrounded by police, a helicopter is looking for suspects. Lack of sleep, fear of your own life, limit of freedom of location change due to the exposure to attack from suspects.
We were reporting this situation during this criminal incident to the host, who did not even ask if we are ok, and still argued that the area is "extremely safe." We understood at this moment that the host did not provide a safe rental and he misinformed us regarding the safety of this neighborhood. Thus only after this criminal incident we checked the official data on the site www.neighborhoodscout.com/dc/washington/crime, from which it follows that this is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Washington.
We canceled reservation without violating host's "strict regulations", and we moved to a safe hotel as soon as possible.
We asked for a refund for the remaining 4 days, he refused, writing that the shooting in front of our windows "happened outside of house". It is difficult to reconcile with such insensitivity to the fate of his guests.
