The home was totally fine for a 1 night stay, but I wouldn’t want to stay longer. It’s a tight, run down space that wasn’t reassuringly clean. But the neighborhood is safe and the host has added nice touches to make it feel more welcoming, like the decorative lights.
But we ran into more of an issue with the communication — because we were driving with our whole life packed in a car and wanted to make sure we stayed in places where we could park our car hidden from street view to avoid any theft. The host said they did have off-street parking, but when we got there, we found out there was only on-street parking available. Luckily, the neighborhood was safe enough to leave some stuff in the car, but we unpacked a good amount of it and had to repack it in the morning.
