I want to preface this by saying that Jason was a great host. He was super communicative leading up to check in day and very quick to respond to issues during our stay. I wish we had booked other listings of his we had been eyeing.
I’m only posting this review at all because we researched the hell out of this place and read every review prior to booking a few months back, so our experience was a true surprise.
The condo itself is cute. Small but nicely decorated and the beds are super comfortable. Unfortunately - as two women traveling alone - my friend and I did not feel safe here, and there is only so much the host has control over to remedy that. The condo is located next to a highway underpass, sandwiched between a few abandon buildings and gas stations. While this is a condo, it’s not a condo BUILDING and the unit doors open directly to a back alleyway and not a hallway or entryway. There is a security gate but it was rarely closed during our stay despite the hosts best efforts to contact building ownership. We stayed less than a day and were followed and heckled numerous times while grabbing coffee or food near the unit. Coming home at night was frightening as there was little lighting and lots of loitering.
We ended up checking out after the first night and moving to a different part of the city. Jason was understanding and easy to work with as we relocated.
