I’ll start with the positive:
-location was good and conveniently located
-neighborhood was nice, quiet, and we felt safe
-host was very responsive and easy to reach
-the host was flexible and accommodating as I needed to bring my 10lb dog with me and he allowed it.
The negative/ugly:
The house simply was not clean. PERIOD. We asked the host if it had been cleaned prior to our arrival and he said yes but we simply did not believe it. We saw baby roaches on the kitchen counter after we’d only been there 5 minutes. We brought this to the host’s attention and his response was “roaches??? I literally just left there 45min ago.” I told him he was welcome to come back and do a walk through with us as we had no reason to lie about the roaches or about the uncleanliness of the house. And even though he was shocked that we saw roaches, we noticed 2 cans of roach spray under the kitchen sink.
He did at least refund our cleaning fee because we had to go to Walmart to get cleaning supplies just so we’d feel comfortable staying there.
We did a walk through and every one of the bathrooms was filthy. The mirror in half bath on the main level looked as if someone had just brushed their teeth as it has what appeared to be toothpaste on it.
The floors were dirty throughout the house.
The laundry room was dirty. There were clothes I the washer and dryer that we had to remove in order to wash the linens we purchased from Walmart since we were NOT going to sleep on the existing linens.
The home had no dishes in the cabinets. Every vrbo home that we’ve ever stayed at was clean and equipped with everything that we needed.
The living room sofa was dirty looking and was missing a leg. My brother in law found some coasters and placed them in the place of the missing leg just so we could sit on the couch without fear of it tipping over.
At one point while he was sitting on the couch he heard something pop as if the couch had broken. Sure enough, he looked down and the springs were sticking out at the bottom.
We were exceptionally disappointed in the condition of this vrbo.
It’s 420 friendly so my guess is that others that have stayed there were so high they didn’t care about the things we cared about.
On a scale of 1 to 10, we’d definitely give this a 3. And that’s only because the location was good, the neighborhood was decent, and the host was easy to each.
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone until he does some work!
