The balcony door was broken/didn't close during our winter stay. Furniture was broken leaving inadequate seating. Several thermostats didn't work. There was a sewage smell wafting through the unit. There were no fire/CO2 alarms. The rental license expired a year and 7 months prior. The front door barely locked. The dishwasher didn't dry, despite having a drying feature.Vrbo's help feature was frustrating to use, wasted our time, and ultimately just directed us to the host who just rudely commented on thermostats without addressing any other concerns. At no point was any compensation or alternate stay offered.This was our first and only experience using Vrbo and we will not be using the service in the future and encouraging our friends and family to avoid Vrbo and Expedia's services
I had multiple issues with this home and the property owner.
1) thereâs multiple lock boxes hanging on the inside of the door, theyâre nearly impossible to access. It took my husband multiple attempts to be able to open them.
2) when we arrived the information we received for the door code and access was lacking information, so when I contacted the host he stated âI donât know what to tell youâ when I told him the access info was lacking information.
3) there is absolutely ZERO parking anywhere near the property. Which is fine as DT city cores often lack parking, but when you even attempt
To stop your vehicle to bring your belongings into the property the folks across the street scream at you repeatedly.
4) they must be doing major renovations on the other unit inside the building, they work very late into the night and than again cutting through walls the recip saws at 6am without any heads up from the property owner. Our entire family was startled out of our sleep in the worst way.
5) the unit across the hall from where the rental space is smells like rotting garbage.
6) when you enter the apartment it is an EXTREMELY steep staircase .
The only thing that was pleasant about this experience was the beautiful cultural restaurants near by and the neighborhood park/swimming/playground down the street.
The cost of this unit doesnât under ANY circumstances match the environment.
And Iâd just like to emphasize how absolutely rude the host is, donât rent this unit.
