I arrived at this property at 5am due to a very delayed flight. Upon pulling into the neighborhood, the cab driver and I witnessed a tremendous amount of trash furniture on the street, boarded up buildings, and multiple homeless people. It did NOT feel safe for me to exit the cab and get into the building, and the cab driver was sufficiently uneasy that he threw his cab into reverse to get out of the cul de sac. We went out to the main street and attempted to get the attention of a police officer who was in his vehicle with his lights going. The officer ignored us. Shaking, I went onto Expedia and looked for a hotel that had space. We drove toward Dupont Circle and I checked into a Hyatt at 6 am. The cost of that room was $350 for the few hours. I then found another hotel for the next few nights. When I awoke, I attempted to let Gustavo know that I never checked in and wanted a refund; he refused. I then contacted American Express and asked them to handle it. I asked an Uber driver later that day if he knew the neighborhood - he said he did, and it's very bad.
