We had issue with location of this apartment. Upon arrival, there was police activity on the street. With street parking the only option, and knowing I would be spending a night alone at this apartment, I contacted Mr. Damani about my concerns. First he said he wasn't aware of police activity, and then wrote I was being "biased" in my concern for my safety. In the week that we were there, there were several assaults, robberies, arrests and vandalism reported in this particular neighborhood both in police reports and on the news. Mr. Damani went on to say at this point he didn't want me to stay in his apartment, and asked that I cancel my reservation. When I went to cancel and saw that I would still be charged with the full amount, I questioned it. He told me that he had taken the apartment off the market and thus it was fair that he be compensated since I "changed my mind." When I wrote back saying that I believed there was a difference between changing my mind and not feeling safe, I didn't hear from him again. From the reviews, most of the people who stayed here didn't have issue with the location. I did, and I was not completely alone in that assessment. My feeling as a traveler, is that the listings should be complete and honest. Mr. Damani said I had the address, I was aware of the location. However, even with Google maps and street views, it is not possible to see everything in a neighborhood. There should be a methodology for guests to cancel a listing if they arrive and do not feel safe, particularly given there were police reports that confirmed those concerns. I will contact Airbnb about this issue.
