The place was as described and set up was as pictured. Beds were comfy and it was spacious enough for 4 adults and 1 child.
We had a major hiccup during check in. Check in time was 4pm. When we arrived the cleaning person was there and just getting started. She was as surprised to see us there as we were to see her. We weren’t made aware they were running behind, so we walked in and the place was dirty from the previous guest. We waited 2 hours past our check in time for the cleaning person to finish. She was very nice and apologetic and did leave the place clean. The Airbnb owners sent a $50 refund for our wait. I can understand it as a mistake/miscommunication but it was incredibly inconvenient since we had just finished driving 8 hours and we’re looking forward to resting at the Airbnb that evening.
I appreciated the house had cameras outside, a security system, and most importantly a gated parking lot. It helped us feel secure while staying there. The area was rough, we stayed 3 nights and 4 days. During our time there there was gang murder right down the street. But it didn’t personally affect us, we only knew about it because we drove past it and saw the area closed off with reporters there. We saw it on the local news. Then another night there was a fire a few houses down and there was a lot of firefighters and police officers. That side of the road was closed off that evening while they tried putting the fire out. Again it didn’t affect us personally, we only had to find a detour to get back to the house. My point is the area is rough, the owners have taken all the precautions they can, and we were not personally affected by the events.
