More like rundown college student rental - disappointing!
It was dirty; carpet in the 1 bedroom was disgusting, odd splatter on blind in bathroom, stained pillow on couch, an uncleaned spill in the fridge, mismatched paint touchup throughout, stain on the ottoman and while some of this may sound petty, it all starts to add up. Beds were cheap IKEA platform beds which isn't the end of the world, but very uncomfortable and if you have trouble getting up, you'll never get out of them without a hoist as they're almost on the floor. The living room furniture was cheap student stuff with the couch starting to collapse. Incredibly frustrating was the water pressure in the bathroom - turned on fully, it barely trickled out and the shower pressure was horrendous. After you arrive you find out that there are multiple cameras outside and "noise detecting technology" may be used inside, but it doesn't record conversations - interesting...... However, I appreciated the outside cameras and the exterior lights that never went out as let's just call it a neighborhood in transition. Lastly, what really ticked me off is that you have to pay an additional $35 fee for "Identity Verification and Insurance" - isn't that what VRBO is for? I've never damaged anything and if I did, I'd simply pay for it - this amounted to almost an extra 10% tax for us and it is NOT disclosed in the VRBO cost summary. Finally, they try to buy good reviews by incentivizing 5 Star Reviews with a "15% off your next rental" - I think that tells it all right there.
