Because some addresses or locations in a city are more desirable than others?

Or to avoid issues with their landlord.

Or because their listing under their real name and real address has too many negative reviews.

You don't get the exact address until you've paid - just the street.

It's still pretty obvious from photos, etc. I know someone who listed his apartment and was contacted by the building management, who'd seen his listing.

I've been given the wrong streets during browsing. Hosts give out an address a block or three away so their landlord is less likely to find it.
