This was the worst experience I have ever had with a host. The listing omitted important information, and when serious issues arose, the host completely failed to provide any assistance or solution.
First of all, the property is located in a very unsafe area. The rear side of the property was especially concerning and made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. This was not accurately represented in the listing.
Before my arrival, the host contacted me to ask what time I would be checking in. I informed him that I would be arriving at night because I had not yet reached the city. After that, the conversation ended.
When I arrived at the property, the access code provided for my reservation did not work, leaving me unable to enter. I immediately sent multiple messages and called the host several times, but he never responded. I was completely ignored and left stranded with no way to access the accommodation I had already paid for.
What makes this experience even worse is that instead of taking responsibility, offering an explanation, or providing a solution, the host acted as if nothing had happened. It felt dishonest and highly unprofessional. Guests should not have to deal with being locked out, ignored, and left without support, especially late at night in an unfamiliar and unsafe area.
I would strongly advise future guests to be cautious. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this property or this host.

I reserved this VRBO property for June 4–6. When I arrived and entered the property, it was clear that it had not been cleaned or prepared for my stay. The bedroom was unmade, and the bed had dirty sheets, visible hair, and other debris on it. The kitchen still contained pizza boxes, and food had been left in the refrigerator.I immediately contacted the owner, who admitted there had been a scheduling conflict and that they had forgotten I was arriving that day. As a result, the property was not ready or suitable for occupancy.Because of the unsanitary condition of the property, I could not stay there and had to leave immediately. I was forced to find another hotel on very short notice while also preparing for a meeting scheduled within two hours. This caused significant inconvenience, stress, and additional expense.I did not stay at the property at any time. I have repeatedly requested a full refund from the owner but have not received one. Since the property was not clean, habitable, or available as promised, I am requesting a full refund for the June 4–6 reservation.

This property was a complete scam. Aside from the location being very sketchy, absolutely nothing was cleaned from the previous occupants (bed, bathroom, used towels, pizza boxes and noodle containers, spiders, etc.). I took many photos and videos. This trip cost me over a thousand dollars as I was not able to stay at the location and had to seek a last minute hotel during a music festival and FIFA where all room accommodation prices were through the roof. I was lucky to find anything at all that was not sold out. I’ve NEVER experienced something so awful. And the host was unresponsive and the voicemail box was full. Not only should I be reimbursed for the cost of the “retreat” but the costs it took for me to find another place to stay while rooms were over triple the price.

Property was not ready for check in on time. Listing said jetted tub which there is none. Also says parking available but it was street parking should clarify.Keypad combination did not work. There are 7 foot ceilings and I am 6’5” so it was very uncomfortable for me.Keurig was a nice touch.

The overall stay was okay, the location and apartment was just as described and looked like the pictures. However, there was no hot water when it came time to bathe or use running water. The sheets were also dirty.
