We were looking for accomodations in Jamestown that wouldn't break the bank - and thats what we found. The property had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable. If we ever bring our dogs on a road trip up here, this is where we will stay! The check-in was smooth and easy, same when we left. We were a little surprised by the steep steps to get upstairs, but they were manageable. Overall, it was a good experience and a good value.
Reservation cancelled 2 hours before I was due to check in
I reserved this place for the solar eclipse weekend months before. There were no reviews yet as it was a new listing, but I took a risk. I reached out to owner after reservation never heard anything. About a month out, I double checked to make sure I had a reservation since I hadnât heard anything, and I did. I also saw the other bad reviews at that time. I took a risk and kept as it would be difficult to find a place a month before the eclipse. As I drove to the address and was about 2 hours out, I reached out to the owner since I hadnât received the check in instructions yet, usually given the day of checkin. A few minutes later I received a VRBO notification that my reservation was cancelled by the owner due to âdamage/natural disasterââŠthere was no natural disaster. Once the owner cancelled the reservation, I lost his/her contact info, so I couldnât even call them up about it! Terrible. This person should not be allowed to rent places anywhere.
I like the owner being very friendly, but the overall cleaniness of place was not up to par. I didn't bring pets with me, even though it says people can bring their pets. There was dog hair all over the place, bed, floor, and the smell of the apartment smelled like dogs. I had to text the owner often due to things needing to be done.
