Jay is a very available host, has very timely responses, and appears to be accommodating. That being said, although most of the pictures shown are more or less accurate (everything taken at their best angles and time of day) what they don’t show are what some people may be uncomfortable with: couches that are graffitied with stains, bathrooms that appear out of date and uncomfortable to be barefoot in, and an unsettling neighborhood. We have all been in neighborhoods that appear less safe than they actually are, so final judgements weren’t made until our Uber driver had to confirm and reconfirm this is where we wanted to be dropped off and gave a final farewell of ‘don’t walk anywhere at night and always stay together’ (common sense advice, however, slightly misleading description of ‘walking distance to FQ’ since we had to Uber home every night due to concerns for safety). If this was the only concerning opinion of the neighborhood we would have felt better, however, when we ventured next door to the corner store where the owners sat behind bulletproof glass with a rotating window to minimize interaction with customers, they too strongly advised against almost all activities in this neighborhood. All of this within the first 45 minutes of arrival. To avoid being repetitive and reiterating the same concerns from multiple locals, I will jump ahead to being woken up at 4 am by loud pounding on our door with accompanied incomprehensible screaming from someone unexpected. When this happened again the second night, our assumption was this man was either under the influence of a behavior modifying substance, or in search of it. Again, we have all been in places that are less sanitary than what we are used to and we adjust, but when we have concerns over our safety and have uninvited and unexpected guests disturbing us early in the morning in a place we are paying for and have chosen with certain expectations based on the hosts description, something should change.
