To this day, I have never had a poor experience at a rental, nor have I ever posted a negative review, despite having stayed at perhaps 50 plus places over the years. I knew I'd made a terrible mistake renting this place when a loud security camera flashed a light in our face and announced we were being recorded as we stepped up onto the front porch. This was set to go off all times of day.and night, including through the broken shades in the bedroom, despite claims that the property had recently been renovated, which couldn't have been further from the truth. Sadly, I think this camera and loud announcement system are necessary due to the dangers of the neighborhood, as we would later find out as my poor son was kept up on Christmas Eve by a loud party across the street until late into the night as well as homeless people and, later, gunshots. We were also greeted by piles of garbage strewn everywhere which would rot over the course of our weeklong stay since our host NEVER responded.
