I was uncomfortable with the area, there were freshly broken glass in the street (from a car window although current cars parked had their windows intact). A few people were just hanging out, smoking on their porch, I had arrived at 1 am and felt like I went straight back to the ghetto. The room was as pictured but the door was unmarked, so it took awhile to find it, there were 3 floors in the old house and many doors that lead to 3-4 appts each. Once I found the right door, I had to try a few doors to find the restroom. There were maybe 3 or 4 locked rooms per door on each floor, none of them marked. I had no idea which was my room but luckily a girl that was staying there helped me find my room. She also asked for a ride to the store which I politely declined. I wondered if it was a halfway house or transitional housing of some sort.
Positives: no bugs, no pests, the air conditioner worked, bathroom is shared, not in great shape but functional. Some areas of the house could use a good scrubbing but my room was clean. My car was not broken into, major relief but I could not stay again second night that was already paid for.
Negatives: see above. Shame that fees are making Airbnb a lot more expensive that it used to be. Comparable to hotel prices and the nice ones listed for 100+ a night, with all the fees would’ve added 100 more. This room at 47 a night for two nights cost me 200. Ridiculous. Get a hotel room. I wish I did.
