FYI: Regarding Jim's Cancellation-Refund Request: Although he stated verbally his intent to Cancel his reservation, the bedroom remained reserved to him during his entire reservation period. He never showed up, so his bedroom remained unoccupied for the duration of his booking. >>==>> Note: Jim, Only Confirmed Guests are actually allowed to leave Reviews. Not However, if they're confirmed as a Guest Cancellation.
<<==================================================================================>>
In Jim's very own words: Documented in the VRBO Inbox Message System, available to allow Host/Guest communications:
>>==>>
[The biggest issue is during the call you let me know that there were no locks on the individual rooms. >>=>>Yes, they would LOCK when you are in them (like a bathroom lock), but when you leave your door is unlocked. You stated that you do have cameras, but that only helps identify who took your things. Cameras aren't as good as a lock on a door to prevent entrance.]

Background Info:
Jim, You successfully Booked a bedroom at my place on Feb 6, 2023.
At that time you were provided access to my WELCOME CHECK-IN GUEST USER GUIDE [PDF]
======================================================================================
This provides you with very detailed information, including my Cloud-Based Blink Security Camera System, which also protect not only guest valuable belongings, but also that of much greater valuable belongings of the Host in the Entrance, Foyer (where my Photographic Artwork would otherwise be unprotected and available to anyone for the taking).
======================================================================================
Additional invaluable Photographic Artwork is openly exposed, as well as is my video production workstation, multiple portable TB hard drives, Dual 4K Display Monitors, etc. all openly accessible in the Common area leading to all bedrooms doors.
<<==================================================================================>>
In the User Guide, is an image provided which shows the common area of each camera's coverage of both my equipment & coverage of each closed bedroom door, to capture any breach of any bedroom, by any unauthorized guest entering a bedroom not assign to them.
======================================================================================
This is uploaded to a cloud-base storage and if a guest reports a breach of their bedroom has occurred, this would be available to observe what actual took place.
<<==================================================================================>>
Since installing this system, I (as a trusting Home Owner & Host to All Guest entering my home), no longer have had my own personal items go missing.
<<==================================================================================>>
The use of camera technology is commonly used throughout all secure locations, to provide & capture secure view of many places which require air-tight security, throughout the world.
<<==================================================================================>>
Your justification for cancellation included a request for a refund of the cleaning fee, which I honored. Before your cancellation, you accepted the bedroom upgrade I provided, but then later withdrew this, stating your cancellation decision was primarily based on no Microwave, even though many other much, much better cooking options available, for cooking food.
<<==================================================================================>>
You had an entire month to sort out any questions or concerns by contacting me, if you had any questions related to your accommodations.
======================================================================================
