Easy clean very responsive host

Very well maintained, cute little updated home. Communication with host was excellent!

My husband and I enjoyed our weeklong stay in this lovely vintage home. We appreciated having a washer and dryer available for doing laundry. Everything was provided for what we needed. Our host, Seth, responded promptly to all our communication. We had a quiet and restful experience.

The place is as clean as described and very user friendly (I cooked a lot and had everything I needed--although the pans should be replaced as the Teflon is all peeling off, which is toxic to humans).No pets and no smoking in this location, which was perfect for my young son who has asthma. Good location within walking distance to Washington Park. However, an outdated fire alarm woke us up at 2 a.m. I tried to reach the owner with no luck so I had to call the fire department. The firefighters said the fire alarm was over 10 years old and should be replaced every 3 to 5 years. None of this is particular terrible, but the owner did not apologize or take responsibility for the outdated fire alarm or offer any type of refund for the inconvenience. He tried to have his local helper just replace the battery, which obviously did not work as it was still chirping away. I texted the owner and the helper returned and took the outdated fire alarm down without replacing it (there were others in the apartment so I wasn't so concerned, but who knows if the others were up to date?). I've stayed at other vrbos in Casper and the owners were usually much more friendly and willing to help. This felt like it was only about money. I'm wondering if many of the vrbos are bought and rented by out of towners? Im local to WY as in I grew up here.
