Upon entering the neighborhood around 11:30pm on a Sunday evening where the rental was located, we immediately noticed that the area was overpopulated. Streets were lined with cars, buildings were packed into one another amongst dilapidated housing. We noticed large amounts of people partying on front porches, and drunk people roaming the streets. We felt unsafe to even get out of our vehicle, let alone park and get our family out. To top it off, there was a very recent memorial for someone directly on the corner of the unit.
We decided to contact the host and make him aware of the situation. We proceeded to explain that the we did not feel safe, and the listing was misleading. It was not family friendly and located in a rough part of town. His response was one of extreme unconcern. He refused any type of partial refund. Even after communication with host ended, we continued to receive messages pertaining to the rental as if nothing happened.
Extremely unhappy with the entire experience, we were forced to seek last minute accommodations elsewhere. Doubling our expenses.
