Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jan 2026
Given this guest has left no comment as to why their stay was only a 1 star. I think it’s a direct response to the state they left my property in. Dishes were left in random places throughout the property, indoor furniture was left outside, and excess rubbish was left.
