Issues with "my stay"Police Presence: When the other family in our party arrived prior to check-in (3:00 PM), there were five police vehicles at a neighboring property. This immediately created an environment where the children felt unsafe.Lack of Lighting & Security: I arrived after 10:00 PM with my 9-year-old daughter. The neighborhood was extremely dark, and the home had no exterior lights on, making it impossible to see the address from the street.Unidentified Vehicle: Upon identifying the home, I discovered an unknown vehicle parked in the driveway. Between the earlier police activity and a strange car at the house, my daughter and I did not feel safe entering the property.Trash on the property: Owner stated he could not control trash that is left around the propertyZero Communication: I reached out to the host immediately to address the vehicle and our safety concerns. I received no response until the following morning. Because we had no way of knowing if the home was secure, we were forced to book a last-minute hotel.
