An absolute nightmare! If you are from the area and know what you are getting into and only staying a couple nights, this place may be ok for you! I had just moved to Florida for work and stayed here for 10 days until finding an apartment so it was torture for me. I was not familiar with the area beforehand.
1. Arrived to Public Health signs all over the building stating a resident has tested positive for COVID. I asked the host about this, she said the signs have been up for 6 months and were posted just to scare people into staying in their units.
2. The unit itself is relatively clean. I only had to kill one roach-looking insect (bathroom). The towels are terrible so I suggest bringing your own.
3. The building is disgusting. It stinks. It is dirty. Residents get in the elevator with you with no masks. There is a sign posted by management asking a resident to stop letting her dog urinate in the stairwell.
4. Sketchy neighborhood, huge sketchy building complex, huge sketchy parking lot. Car alarms going off all hours of the night (I assume attempted break-ins). People hanging out in the parking lot and near doors after dark, who appear to be on drugs. Men catcalling me as I walked from my car to the building in my scrubs. I did not feel safe here at all when leaving/returning after dark. The parking lot is very large and poorly lit and guests have to park at the very back so it is a long walk.
5. A neighbor close to this unit would blast music extremely loud all hours of the day, some nights until 3 am.
6. One of the nights, a young woman stood outside screaming and cursing at her boyfriend for approximately an hour and a half, just below the window of this unit. She did not stop until after 11 pm.
7. The walls are SO thin, you can hear your neighbors’ entire conversations.
All in all, this was the worst experience I have had in an Airbnb. I did not feel safe here as a single woman and it was torture trying to get rest here before work each day.
If you are just looking for a place to lay your head for a couple nights, this place may work out for you. Stay at your own risk.
