I arrived at the property to find water all over the floor coming from the fridge and a very run down apartment, with a smell to it. No water coming out of the bathroom sink and moldy old tub and shower so I showered elsewhere. I contacted the owner or manager and never heard from him at all. I cleaned up all the water myself. I texted as well as VRBO app. Nothing. First night using the bathroom there were silverfish crawling on the floor so I made sure my suitcase was closed at all times. The place is very run down and dirty. I tried not to be there very often. Then when I was getting the garbage ready to take down when I was leaving I had it by the stove while I was emptying the bathroom garbage and there was a line of tiny bugs coming from under the stove within seconds. Onto the garbage bag. I panicked and grabbed the garbage and quickly took it downstairs. When I got back up, my arm had bugs on it. I was so freaked out. I finally reached out again and this time he got back to me. But that all he did, got back to me. Never had an experience like this before. It gets one star because it does have a beautiful view.
Visible mold in the bathroom⊠a lot, strong cleaning fragrance, very hot, furnished with the cheapest quality everything. Very loud area, especially if you have the windows open so you donât suffocate. Most of this doesnât really bother me , but the mold makes this an unsafe place for humans.
You have to get keys before you can get in or park which is 2 blocks away. Not a problem if you donât have a carIf you have a car good luck on finding a parking spot so you can get the keys to the garage. The instructions on where car garage is good but 3 of the parking units all look the same I wouldnât want to try to park a large truck or suv in there I do have to give the property manager credit in getting back to me with my questions. It was just very stressful trying to find a parking spot 2 blocks away with all the traffic and people walking to retrieve keys

Upon check-in, we were shocked to discover the coach had dirt stains and holes in it. The pots and pans had the nonstick coating, literally peeling off mildew and stains on the ceiling in the bathroom, found long strands of black hair and dirt on the dishes in the cupboard, no face cloths. Unfinished drywall repairs, missing hooks on walls to hang stuff in bathroom and a fan that didnât work and would defend you if you had it on. Try to reach out to the host with these issues as my wife did not feel comfortable staying there, but he did not reply. Sent several messages and the only reply I got was him thanking me for my stay. Worst experience I have ever had renting a place only thing going for this look Unit is location.
I cannot recommend this property. While most places have a check-out time of 11 AM, this one was 10 AM. When I requested a late check-out, it felt like I was asking for a huge favor just to get an extra hour. Even after getting the extension, the cleaner showed up at 10:30 AM, opened my door without knocking, and argued with me about leaving, despite my prior arrangement with the host. She then stood outside, talking loudly on her phone while I packed up.Furthermore, the property was not as modern as it appeared in the photos. There were chipped walls everywhere, the furniture was dated, and the shower water sputtered. The bathroom tap barely had any water pressure at all. If you donât mind outdated conditions and poor service, then go ahead and book, but I definitely wonât be returning.
