Extremely unsafe area and this house specifically carries an enormous target on its back by refusing to implement security measures (cameras, locks from this decade, etc.) that the surrounding homes all use to ward off criminal activity. On our first night, the locked house was broken into and we had a set of car keys stolen off of a bedside table while we were not home. The criminals then returned later in the evening and stole our vehicle right from the driveway. The host was almost robotic in their response. After speaking with neighbors to secure video evidence of the car theft for the police (this home is the only one without a driveway camera or Ring doorbell system), we discovered this area has been hit several times over the last few weeks and been getting hit for over a year now. We even met a next-door neighbor to this home who had his truck stolen, used for criminal activity, and then torched in a nearby field one year ago exactly. The host’s responsiveness to this crisis and lack of concern for our safety (plus their lack of security measures) was alarming at best. We felt completely unsafe going to bed the following night in the home.
The home itself was very nice and exactly as advertised, great location and host’s automated messages were helpful. But at the end of the day, a stay like this one makes me never want to use Airbnb again. The host needs to revisit their security measures and Airbnb needs to revamp their method of tracking home security. Very disappointed overall and not returning to Nashville anytime soon.
