Home Sweet Stay near Meadows Field Airport

The home was great. Spacious areas for living room and kitchen. Like others have said the homeless population surrounding the area was very awful to see but luckily the home has good security gate and cameras.

Enjoyed my stay over the weekend! Thanks to Karina for being a great host, the place was comfortable and cozy.

We enjoyed our stay and appreciate Karina’s Airbnb stay. The entire home property was organized and clean. We had no issues whatsoever with the inside of the property. Our only issue was the surrounding area of the neighborhood. From the previous reviews people had mentioned that the area is in a sketchy part of Bakersfield. I would find it more comforting if there was a deadlock for the front door and perhaps garage flood light which would illuminate the front yard to keep trespassers away.

I definitely don’t feel like it’s talked about enough in the other reviews how terrible the location is. We were right across the street from a dollar world smoke shop where apparently all of the homeless hang out. The big fence you park in is locked - and there is GREAT reason for that. There were 3 dogs barking all through the night, and I was extremely nervous sleeping in the front bedroom considering I could look outside my window and see about 10 people shooting up drugs together. There were multiple motorcycles riding all through the night to go along with the dogs and all of the people. I hardly slept night 1 and my kiddos felt super nervous. Also, I guess the listing mentions shared parking which I must have overlooked and was extremely shocked to walk out to a car full of grown men that were apparently staying in the “back house” which I didn’t even realize was there. I wish that would have been communicated that people were staying there.
