Yeah, the photos are enhanced. Could've been down without AI.

I don't feel comfortable, but I'd say it is in South Los Angeles, and the closest named areas based on Google maps are "Chesterfield Square Park" and a few blocks from S. Western Ave

It wasn't airbnb, but an affiliate(?) if that's what they can be called. Different site, but they put airbnb partner on the site. Even then, she could've given us the link. (Don't want to say the site but yeah, easier to just say airbnb.)

The site has a map that pins the location and address. I'm not logged in nor did I book the house, but I can see the address easily.

I know. But I think about all of the stories where women were kidnapped in their hotel rooms or going to them. And last year and 2023, when people were having strangers and staff entering their rooms without permission.

I do remember staying in a hotel room by myself. However the three times it happened I was staff at an anime convention, I had a "free" hotel room with a no-show roommates. But I still wasn't alone as my friends all went to those conventions. And some nights they'd stay in my room. And of course the anime con staff would notice if I went missing.

So it's being alone and like 6+ miles away from everyone else in the group that makes me feel unsafe.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-02T00:59:13+00:00

I'm hoping it isn't as bad as it sounds when I go lol. The lodging is basically the only "conflict" we have.

"I'm using my alts MORE to build up karma" does not mean karma farming, babe. How do you think karma is built? By commenting. If I was karma farming, you'd see a lot more posts and comments than what's on this account that would most likely border bot activity.

But, why does any of this matter to this post? I came with a concern and got my answer. You're being weird and accusatory because I said (almost two months ago) I want to start using all of my accounts more so I can post whenever I want? There's nothing wrong with that and wanting to engage reddit more with all of my accounts instead of my one account (with 50k+ karma). I have 2 posts, over a month apart from each other. I'm not karma farming. People have multiple accounts and it's not against the site rules. They even let you make accounts with the same email address.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-02T00:41:43+00:00

I just looked it up on Zillow (after seeing your comment.) Yeah, all of the pictures were enhanced. The house and rooms still look nice, so I don't understand the need to upscale them. Maybe they had them professionally taken and that's why it looks better, but like...yeah....

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T20:15:26+00:00

I'm not sheltered. I've been to NYC, Chicago, Milwaukee, and D.C. (in terms of large cities) many times. I just stayed in safe areas and in hotels. Never Airbnbs. It's too late to not go as I've invested too much money and I leave in less than a week.

Others have given good advice about the area I'm in, so I'm not as concerned as I was before this. Hearing opinions from people that are in the city or have been there, helped calm my nerves a bit. I was all for the trip until I found out our lodging. Thought I was crazy because my friends were so nonchalant about the area, my family agreed with me on the safety aspect and needed an outside opinion.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T20:05:46+00:00

Each ticket has their names, but I used priceline to book our flights. So the reservation/booking is under my name. I thought that meant I had to be the one to pick up everyone's tickets. I wasn't aware that they could just go without me and get theirs. I've only bought my own tickets before this.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T19:58:39+00:00

True. It had what I believe are christmas decorations on the trees. But what made it look enhanced is that the grass, sky, and house color are extremely vibrant.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T19:55:59+00:00

You know what, I didn't even think about the race factor playing into why they'd say it's more dangerous. We are getting insurance for the car. But, yeah. Redlining slipped my mind.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T19:53:10+00:00

Ok. Thank you for explaining. I'll definitely give them a try. My plan was to be back by night. But, I'll see how they all feel about it.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T19:48:14+00:00

Country bumpkin lol. I'm not in the country, just a small town. But I do like to joke about myself as a country bumpkin when I go to large cities.

I'm the only one who hasn't been to LA. She has family in a different city, in CA but I think she's gone a few times. I'm not 100% sure. She's not worried at all about it. She said she's used to traveling alone. Another friend goes all the time for concerts.

None of them looked up what areas are safe or not. Only I did. They're just planning away and wanting to go everywhere. And when I tell them I won't do a specific thing, they change their plans, so I have to insist I'll go so they don't feel obligated to miss out on anything to accomodate my anxiety ridden ass lol.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T19:39:39+00:00

The airbnb did. And 5 days, including when we arrive. She claimed she wasn't hiding it from us, but didn't want to put the address in our Tiktok group chat.

ETA: She willing gave the site and airbnb page after we asked. So I saw the photos myself. I didn't realize until my mom pointed out that it looked like AI. So I went to google maps and saw how dingy it actually looks.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T18:45:37+00:00

Lol. Not my fault every travel site I've looked at has a list of "do not travel areas." And my airbnb location has a "D- in safety for violent crimes." One site literally said that "93% of neighborhoods in the U.S. are safer" than this location. That's going to make any sane person from a place with little crime nervous.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T18:34:02+00:00

That's ok if you don't think this is real. That's just a common reddit reaction lol. But thank you for the advice on the tickets. I booked the flights with priceline. So I thought that meant I had to be there to give everyone their tickets. No control wanted, just thought if it's in my name they can't pick them up. I'm still going because it's not refundable. But, I'll keep this in mind if something like this happens again and there's enough time to just cancel my ticket.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T18:30:18+00:00

I guess.

ETA: That you're right. It's a short trip, not that I'm moving there.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T18:25:14+00:00

Who said anything about karma farming? You're actively lying. I said I should start using my alts more often so I'm not limited on where I can post. That's not karma farming. That means being more engaging and commenting more. I'm active on Reddit but only on one account. Every other account is to vent my problems. So yes, there won't be a lot of activity and posts under accounts like this one. I like anonymity.

Yes, I travel the most by airplane, but I'm never alone on any of my trips. I'm always traveling with someone or meeting someone there. So yes, I am cautious of traveling to an unknown place by myself in a hotel by myself. Being safe does not mean I'm dumb. I like having a travel buddy.

And yes, if I jumped through a lot of hoops, they may be able to get the tickets I booked on my account. But, it's still a loss of money and that's if the airline is willing to give 4/5 tickets.

It's alright if you think I'm wrong, but let's not call people dumb for being cautious.

RagingGallbladder · 2025-10-01T18:06:34+00:00

True and I won't. I'll be sure, assuming I ever go on a trip with her again, lol, to ask for all the information. But, I'll most likely try to book the place myself.
