This stay was extremely disappointing from start to finish. Check-in was 4:00 PM, yet we never received instructions. Messages to the host went unanswered for hours, forcing us to hunt to find a phone number. Only then were we given the loc code, finally arriving around 8:00 PM. The exterior was dark and unsafe to navigate, with the host’s vehicle blocking the narrow driveway and parking area. We ultimately began parking on the street. We later discovered the host lives in the basement. The listing said on the premises, I assumed this meant another building on the property. Upon arrival we found multiple things broken: master bedroom ceiling fan and all of the TVs. The property was shockingly dirty. Carpets and bedding were visibly soiled and overall cleanliness was unacceptable. Photos available to support this. I messaged repeatedly about the TV because we planned to use it. The host was unresponsive, later calling hours afterward with troubleshooting steps that didn’t work. Even after following them exactly, the TV never functioned and further messages were ignored. The next morning I discovered the dishwasher was broken. We returned to the home to find it filled with a string marijuana odor. The host said he had guests that “may have smoked something.” We don’t smoke and the smell was overwhelmingly and intrusive. I would not recommend this property due to poor communication, lack of cleanliness, broken amenities, and undisclosed basement occupancy.

Great spot for the price. Host is very responsive. Parking on street is better than in tight driveway.

Parking is definately an issue. Small driveway with minimal space. Owner was there I believe living in the basement all week. My understanding is VRBO advertises that owners are not onsite . He was there all week and responded to concerns....but also questioned our use of the AC units. I asked ahead of time about the house having AC and I was informed it did. The problem was it was not central air but rather window AC units. This created a problem for the rooms that did not have AC in them. Only a fan was available and temps were pretty high the week we stayed We were also told that AC units should be turned off during the day. This is a 2story older home with Sun facing the whole house all day. It got hot and humid quick so we just left them on. We were told electrical and water bills add up. I just think that cost are not my issue as it's part of the rental pricebut the owner actually has it listed in his welcome booklet. There were minor details of the house that could of been "fixed" cracked tiles, unfinished ceiling and window screens/covers missing. The outside of the property was quite unkept which was unfortunate. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and neat.
Overall it was ok and if a few of these issues were addressed I would stay again.
