Insufferably Musty
This house is overwhelmingly musty to the point that I question its air quality safety. There was mold on my bedroom wall, mold stains on the upholstery, even mold stains on the paper sheet of 'instructions' on the fridge. Many windows won't open. The ones that do are propped open with pipe, or metal boxes or other junk. All are flaking paint. The house exterior is generally in disrepair. The yard where not mowed is overgrown, apparently so as to obscure the dilapidated buildings dotting it. It's a shame because the house could be really magnificent.
The owner(s) are generally unhelpful and disappointed to hear from you. I asked to be ensured that the propane for the grill was full upon our arrival as we were coming in late and might need it. I was told " You can fill it up at the gas station down the street." Thanks. I know how to get a tank exchange. When I asked for help as to the whereabouts of linens and towels I was told " This isn't a hotel!" Well, ma'am, you are in the hospitality business, and I did pay a hotel tax, and frankly neither I nor about anyone else using VRBO has ever rented a house that does not supply these basic amenities. ( they do supply them albeit grudgingly and permeated with the house's patented musty smell - no wonder 'most people supply their own.'
The long and short is: This house is well, well below VRBO standard and you should avoid it if you can.
