Only stayed here for two nights. The house started smelling line sewage on the second day after arriving. Notified the Host and requested a cancellation due the unsanitary odor. Host was of no help and kept saying “I’m new to this and I don’t know.” After multiple request to cancel, finally succeeded with the additional cost of a week because the Host was not trained or didn’t care. So sad. A lovely home but no guest services. Gouged for 2/3 of a 3 week reservation when we only stayed 2 days and a night.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2024
I regret to address a recent review that appears to be misleading. Upon investigation, there were no reported issues regarding any odors at the property, as confirmed by a previous guest's positive experience. I promptly offered a cancellation when requested without any hesitation to ensure the best solution for both parties, although the booking remained active. Despite sincere efforts to resolve the situation, it is disappointing to receive an unjustified two-star rating. The claim of lost business due to an extended stay request from previous guests does not align with the facts, and it is crucial to approach reviews with fairness and consider the efforts made by the host. It is important to provide accurate feedback to maintain trust within the hosting community.
