Scariest VRBO location in dangerous neighborhood
The pictures in this listing completely misrepresented the neighborhood. We only spent about an hour in the VRBO but didn't feel safe there for several reasons. First of all, the room wasn't secure because it was opened up to the neighborhood through the upper floor that let out to the fire escape. Second of all there were large groups of people in the streets having block parties that made us feel like our rental car wasn't safe from vandalism or burglary. The last straw was when we talked to a local police officer who told us that it is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city and that we were at high risk staying there. He recommended we find new lodging. We had to spend thousands of dollars at the last minute to find a new location to stay.This location has no business being a VRBO.
The location itself smelled musty and while the sheets on the beds were washed and made well, the blankets were dirty. I wouldn't have stayed at that property even if it were offered free of charge. They should be banned from VRBO in my opinion and I would like to have my money reimbursed.
