While I believe most of my issues with the place did not stem from the host, I think it’s important to highlight the general experience that I had at this Airbnb. I’ll start with the apartment. If you are planning to stay in for an extended period of time, I would recommend finding a different place. The windows let in almost zero light and we were unsure what time of day it was. The floors were very sticky and I don’t know why this couldn’t be just cleaned. The host recommends you wear shoes, but this is a sanitary issue that can be avoided. The general area is also very sketchy. There is a group that is constantly at the front. One person stopped me and offered me drugs. Now the stabbing. On our last night, there was a stabbing on the fourth floor of the apartment. There were many cops at the front, blood on the elevator floor. While I understand this isn’t necessarily something the host can control, I find it important to warn other travelers.
