Jennifer's place was a nice place for my friend and I to stay the night, and we slept well on the bed and huge couch! The neighborhood felt safe and there was anecdotally a couple going down the street selling tamales when we arrived to check-in, which were delicious for a snack and breakfast the next morning haha.
There were two things that concerned us when we arrived to the listing though. We were not told in the listing or before we arrived that the host's son would be staying in the other room in the basement apartment (nor were we aware that there was another room to begin with, but maybe I missed it in the photos of the listing?), so we were very confused when we arrived and heard someone already inside this other room. We messaged the host about this and she said he is home for the summer. This was fine with us, though we felt a bit strange that it hadn't been communicated to us beforehand since we thought we had booked the ENTIRE apartment, meaning we would have the whole place to ourselves. That feeling was amplified once we realized none of our doors in our room locked... The door to our actual room beyond the kitchen was a pair of sliding doors, which had no way to lock, and our bathroom door was very similar. Only the door to the outside with the self-check in is lockable. We again messaged Jennifer regarding the safety of not having lockable doors, and she said she does not worry about it since it's family staying in the other room. My group shared our hesitancy in staying since her son, regardless of relation to the host, was still a stranger to us and we were naturally wary of staying somewhere where our belongings can't be fully locked away from others, but we ultimately decided the risk was low enough for us to stay for the one night we had booked. If it had been multiple nights, we may not have stayed due to this concern.
