AITA for refusing to stay with my husband at a vacation rental that has an armed guard?

I (38F) got into an argument with my husband (41M) over a recent vacation we were planning. We were going to a sunny coastal city in Latin America. Neither of us has been to this country before, and I was in charge of arranging the accommodations. I found a beautiful 2 bedroom place that had all the amenities we needed and was located in a great part of town. However, when I showed the listing to my husband he immediately said no. The reason for this was that the listing mentioned there was an armed guard at the gate. My husband said that this was unsafe and that he thought the neighborhood must have been crime-ridden if they needed armed guards. I explained to him that this was very common in a lot of Latin American countries, even in upper class areas, but he refused to budge. When I refused to look for other places he said that I was being stubborn and unreasonable, and that I was putting him and our children in danger. I told him he was the one being stubborn and unreasonable, and that I wasn't going to find a different place that didn't have an armed guard when he had no real reason to be afraid. He called me a bitch and said I was being selfish and obstinate. Does this make me the asshole?<br><br>Edit: I failed to mention that we were going to stay for a whole month, as my husband had to go to this city for work. Also, my husband has never been to Latin America before, but he has been to other countries. I have traveled extensively throughout Central, South America, and the Caribbean, as well as other parts of the world.
