THINK TWICE. IF ITS AVAILABLE, THERES A REASON.
Unsafe neighborhood with no access via the front of the property. You have to snake your way through overgrown bushes or walk a quarter mile in a VERY seedy area to a back alleyway full of dumpsters and “lingering” locals. I flew in a night early to set up for a bachelorette party and found myself stranded on the porch like a sitting duck with all of my luggage and a $200 order of food that was delivered with NO ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY! I found myself alone in a bad situation with literally NO shelter that I paid just under $2,000 for. I was instructed to check — THE WATER METER — for a lockbox and there was a locked iron door over another keypad on the side of the house. There was NO lockbox, and it didn’t stop there.
Upon arrival, the grass was overgrown, the front door looks like it’s a vacant property, there was a broken window in the front & I felt completely uncomfortable to enter. MIND YOU- there is NO ACCESS from the front door, so I hopped right on the phone with Turnkey for help. They told me to walk around the back of an unlit property at 9:30 at night to gain access through the BACK door?!There is NO safe walkway with NO lighting and no walkable path without getting hit with bushes full of spiders to ATTEMPT to find the door. After arguing on the phone with them about my safety they advised me the they would send the local affiliates to let me in… but Wait a minute… it would be OVER a TWO HOUR WAIT for them. I was a in a strange city on a street with 5 local projects sandwiched between two cute bungalows next door that were owned by homeowners. THEY were smart enough to install cameras facing the Airbnb, so I’m assuming there’s been many issues in the past.
Needless to say, I wasted my time and money to then have to book a last minute hotel. All of my groceries went bad, I left in an Uber and paid another $2000 out of pocket while I waited for them to “assess” the issue at hand. This was an absolute nightmare; the property was disgusting even from the outside so I can only imagine what the inside would have looked like. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO MY WORST ENEMY.
This is NOT a walkable route from the cityj at night if you value your personal belongings or safety. The photos are engaging, but DO NOT BE FOOLED.
