Please stay away from this host and this location! This listing is run by a dishonest broker, this is not a family home, and you will never be able to find any justice once you have the bad fortune of dealing with them.
I arrived at the location, which is in a really unsafe part of Newark, and found 5 strange men on the premises. A woman who was a broker or a landlord representative told me I could not check in and had to stay in the house waiting for the room to be cleaned. When I said that I felt really uncomfortable and questioned who all these men were, she nonchalantly told me they were construction and maintenance workers. I said I am not going to go into the house, being a single female traveler, with all these strange meant who did not leave at the house, and were not the Airbnb guests or owners.
I was so uncomfortable, that I had to leave, scramble to find another place to stay, and contact the Airbnb to get a refund, as the host flat out refused to refund me. The Airbnb team fought them and finally got me 40% back of what I originally paid. That’s given I never set foot inside the house.
The listing says the check-in is done by getting the key from the lock box, and that’s not true. I was asked by this woman who was most likely a broker to wait for “a couple of hours” past the listed check-in time, while the room was being made ready. My check in was supposed to be at 5, I arrived around 5:30, and had to wait “a couple more hours”.
I never entered the premises and left right away, and these people just left me a nasty review at 11:40 pm right before the cut-off time to write a review.
Please stay away from this pure evil!
