For example, we did not receive check in information until 2 hours before check in which was unnerving when arriving to an unknown location. We had to contact VRBO about our concerns. Upon arrival, amenities were few: 2 towels for a family of 4; no coffee filters for the coffee machine, no kitchen towels, no coffee mugs, etc. We did receive coffee filters and the extra towels eventually but it was a day later when we had already gone out and purchased our own. No communication about having to switch on hot water until after trying to shower in the evening; when attempting to call host, it took almost an hour to realize, there was a switch in the room that needed to be turned on. Little inconveniences like these could have been avoided with a little more attention from the host.
