Day 1 - 8pm Arrival
Went to the wrong complex initially, which made getting to the apartment complex that we rented a bit of a letdown. The new modern complex next door was quite appealing even though we didnât even go inside. It actually reminds me of a hotel we stayed in earlier this year. Very nice accommodations.
Anyway, the complex where this property is cannot be mistaken for new or modern. I wonât go as far as to call it rundown, but as the owner mentions in the documents explaining the property, âa little wear and tear should be expectedâ. Everyoneâs definition of âa littleâ is very different and can vary *widely* however I would agree with 4 exceptions:
1. Stains on the worn carpet.
2. Wallpaper peeling from the wall in master bedroom.
3. A few worn areas needing drywall touch ups.
4. Exterior is extremely rough at best. The term âLow Income Housingâ comes to mind. Multiple times. Like every time you come and go from the unit Visually itâs really really rough. Each door looks very much worn and torn, a couple are just simply run down, and about to fall down. This is the reason why there are *no* exterior pictures on VRBO. Iâm fairly sure that there would be a lot less rentals to this property if folks knew what the exterior looks like. I personally would not have rented if I knew. Iâm guessing that VRBO doesnât require owners to show exterior surroundings.
VRBO should require visibility of exterior surroundings.
