This listing is an absolute CATFISH.
The apartment is located ACROSS THE STREET FROM A HOMELESS SHELTER. Upon arrival, 50+ homeless people were outside on the streets blocking the sidewalks. Additionally, as I checked in, a man LIT A CRACK PIPE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE AIRBNB 10 FEET AWAY FROM ME.
This location is COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND A DANGER HAZARD. As I left the block, my boyfriend and I heard gunshots not even two blocks away, then we drove by an ambulance loading A BLEEDING / POSSIBLY SHOT person into the back.
Our Uber and taxi drivers for the day recommended we leave the area ASAP and asked why we were even in the neighborhood- seeing as we were clearly from out of town.
It does not matter how clean the actual venue is if it is unsafe- my taxi driver dropped us off directly by my car because he didn’t want us to walk 40 feet in the dark around the block to parking. If you are from Chicago, you would know that this neighborhood is DANGEROUS and NOT SAFE. Sadly, I did not find this out until after arrival.
Save yourself the trip- do not book here unless you want your car broken into or unless you enjoy the smell of second-hand crack-cocaine smoke. 👏🏼
