This VRBO property was clean, comfortably furnished and in addition to the great location, had magnificent views of Lake Union. That said, we provide an overall rating of 0 to 1 star due to the unsettling and frightening encounter we experienced during our stay.
On our fourth night at about 12:30 in the morning, two men used the master code to the electronic lock at the front door and while we were sleeping (subsequently awakened) entered the property, stole a wallet - they left quickly when we confronted them. We immediately contacted the property managers who were responsive, apologetic and arrived the following day with an additional temporary security measure for the front door.
This property did not have a secondary lock such as a deadbolt, swing bar or chain lock which would have enabled us to control access from the inside. The master code is available to contractors, sub-contractors, cleaners and others who require access to the property.
So while this is a lovely property we caution against renting it unless you are assured that it is safe and secure.
