My friend and I (both 24 and female) asked Luciana prior to our stay if the area of the Airbnb was a safe area, to which she replied yes. Yet is was very near Brownsville (one of the most unsafe areas of ny). At the arrival we didn’t feel safe in the neighborhood nor in the apartment. We got catcalled (we were wearing oversized joggers) and harassed (with labels like btch, “white hoes”) by the locals while waiting for our uber to get away from the place. We arrived with the apartment door unlocked and the keys at a visible place to be taken by anyone. The door of the room also was just glass and wood, which didn’t seem like a safe door to close. I felt fooled by the host, since we chose to expand our stay after her labeling the place as “safe” prior to our arrival. After contacting Airbnb regarding this issue we first received a response that a refund wouldn’t be possible as the host had a high rating. I DO NOT recommend this place nor the host as I feel lied upon asking a safety question.
