Gorgeous Victorian home, not so good neighborhood
The inside of the home is beautiful; old style Victorian.
I would have liked to see in the listing about the parking in the back, in an alley. So, first we drove passed the home and realized there was no parking available. We had to contact the property manager for more information. He originally gave me the address. But, we had to find the alley.
Fortunately, it was light when we arrived. But there was no house numbers on the back gate. We actually tried others gates, before we found ours.
The parking space had an”warning. Unauthorized cars will be towed” sign. So, we hoped we were parking in the correct spot.
Our back entrance was just a regular gate, where the lock had been removed.
As we walked through the backyard, we noticed the old stairs leading up to the back entrance, they were broken down. One stair was almost completely eroded.
I had to bring our suitcase up those stairs. I guess could have walked around the block to enter the house from those stairs.
We were met we a cool home with air conditioning, which I was grateful for.
However, as a grandma, with my seven year old granddaughter, I didn’t feel comfortable. There were homeless around the area; sitting a house down, and there was a cheap hotel on the. Or we, two houses over.
We didn’t stay. We packed up and left.
I’ve worked with VRBO for several years. I was disappointed.
My granddaughter got locked in the one bathroom, because the door know didn’t work.
