I actually did not stay the evening after giving it a lot of thought. I realize I may be a nervous traveler, but for anyone else that thinks of safety as a priority when staying at an Airbnb, I suggest you be mindful about the following:
There was a lack of egress in case of an emergency (fire, etc) and that was really unnerving being a basement space. There are so many dead-bolted doors and gates just to leave the house. Really low ceilings. No window (except for a tiny tiny one that was covered on the outside by wires) and a barricaded/taped up exit door to the outside. It just felt so incredibly unsafe in that regard. Otherwise, adorable decor and convenient location.
