Adorable home, but…
First, the positives….this is a gem of a home. Lovely architecture and charm. Five huge bedrooms with lots of space, beds were comfy, nice towels and linens. Kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed.
The downsides:
-the power had been turned off to the house, by the utility company, when we arrived. So, the fridge and freezer weren’t cold, & we had to go buy coolers and ice. Power took a while to be restored. Not clear how the cleaning crew did their job prior to our check in with no power. Definitely signs of previous renters in home. We did the dishes, etc.
- the checkin procedures are a series of videos texted to you a couple of hours before check in. They are not provided 72 hours prior to check in per VRBO policy. You won’t get a reply to your messages via the app or any other method until about 2 hours before check in,
-check the fine print on the rooms. We paid for 5 people and that gets you only 3 rooms. The owner worked with us, to be fair.
- the street in front of the home is a major thoroughfare. Street noise is a lot, all night long. And I live near a freeway, so this is saying something.
-there was an altercation that brought three squad cars from the local police at midnight on our last night of our stay
- As others note, hot tub seems unsafe. Power is kept off so pump and filter not running.
