The owner didn’t send check in details, didn’t respond to messages, and didn’t answer calls from VRBO corporate. It was hours after my check in time that I decided to book alternative plans, and VRBO offered to cancel my stay. At that point he finally sent my check in details to cover himself, and avoid offering me a refund. I’ve now had to pay for two stays because this guy stole my money. Read his reviews, a terrible experience is common with this owner.

The spot was a good 2 bedroom apartment nice for a place to stay when we were visiting family nearby. It had everything we needed for a quick overnight stay. A few things to know for future visitors are that: 1. Getting to the second bedroom, in the attic, was steep with no railing steps (even steps to get into apartment were tight/steep and could see it being difficult for some) but being younger made it ok to get up and use 2nd bedroom. 2. Owner reached out with check in and parking directions day of check in. Stated that if someone was in driver blocking our spot to let them know. I texted and called twice and never heard anything back. We wound up meeting neighbor and handling parking issue ourselves, quick and easy fix but was worrisome that someone more serious , important or timely good have happened and we’d have no contact.

We stayed at this listing on July 28, 2023. The 2nd bedroom is in an attic and was uninhabitably hot. (The outside temperature was high-90s that day.) So we had to use a couch as the 2nd bed — which is not what we paid for. The host did not respond during our stay to a message about the unusable 2nd bedroom. After our stay, in response to a message expressing disappointment, the host said “there was an portable AC you could’ve used for the upstairs.” In fact, this portable AC was sitting on the attic floor, newly unboxed and not set up: the air duct tube was lying on the floor, not already set up in a window. A host should not expect guests to set up a new air conditioner, or even know how to do so.

The unit was very clean, comfortable and cheery. The kitchen was quite well stocked except the utensils and plates were barely a step above disposable. The street itself is not the most picturesque, but the vicinity to stores/restaurants was very nice.
