I would like to separate this review into two separate parts in order to properly give a summary:
1) The actual Airbnb and the experience with the hosts was impeccable. Sammi and Damion were very responsive and kind to make sure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we needed. The apartment is a secluded oasis and is clean, modern, and lovely. Another massive benefit was the ability to park in the driveway, because street parking seemed hard to come by.
2) The location, on the other hand, was a bit of a shock to my wife and me, if I'm being honest. As we drove up to the Airbnb at 8:30pm, we had to stop as a street fight broke out…no more than 3 blocks away. Our nerves were a bit calmed when we got into the place and realized how peaceful and calm it was. Then, to make matters worse, there were gun shots in the night and when we were leaving the next morning, someone in the neighborhood told us to be careful because someone was shot and killed two blocks away.
Overall, the actual Airbnb apartment and host experience was amazing, I would just be aware of the location around this secluded oasis.
