This owner has curated a really beautiful and fun house. However, it is in a very, very poor area where I was concerned and scared for the safety of our party and our vehicle.Several of the houses on the street look completely vacant with missing windows and doorsIt’s a shame because the owner has done a really good job in terms of putting the place together and has thought about all the little detailsHopefully the area will continue to improve some more people will be able to experience this house
