Make sure you know the area before booking here. I decided to cancel last minute, which I don't think I've ever done to a host. The photos of this bedroom itself are mostly accurate, but the home as a whole/the exterior upon pulling up is either under construction or in intense disrepair. The front of the home was covered in plywood boards (maybe because of the protests?) and I honestly thought the place looked abandoned.
The area is not somewhere that I, a small-stature woman, felt safe walking around, especially since I'd be coming back in the evenings alone. A boy around 11yrs old approached me as I was doing the door code so I said hello and asked if he lived here. He said no but knew the door code and let himself (and me) in. I wondered who else knew how to let themselves in around the area. I got to the room and even though the door locks, the lock was very loose in the door hole. All in all, it just wasn't a place I felt comfortable sleeping in or coming and going for 3 days.
