The listing does not mention that there is another flight of stairs (three in total) after you walk up the outside staircase. Carrying my oversized luggage up three steep flights of stairs was a bear. The layout description could be clearer. There are two apartment units on top of a home where the maintenance man lives with his family and dog.

The maintenance told me to just put the towels on the outside ground in front of his door if I need them to be washed. This made me wonder if this is common practice. I suggest bringing your own linens.
The refrigerator and freezer was not clean. This is off putting because I use the fridge and freezer when I travel. I had to put paper towel down before I put anything in the freezer and fridge. And there are no curtains or blinds on the living room and kitchen windows. So, if you like to walk around with few pieces of clothing, you might want to bring something to put over the windows. I could see straight into the home from the street.
It is close to stores but I saw drug activity right in front of the home followed by cops speeding around the neighborhood. I am unsure how safe the area is since the host would not talk with me over the phone.
