  3/5

  I say these things to hopefully make the owners aware of some things that can improve the experience for anyone else booking this property.

  Upon arrival, we were nervous as we pulled up because the house looked abandoned. The front yard was so overgrown it looked like no one had been there in months. They did come on the evening of our 3rd day and cut it. The internet was not working and I lost 4 hours of telework and a Church service I was supposed to attend virtually. When we checked the upstairs the bedrooms were great, mattresses were comfortable, but there were hairs from someone else under the comforter in the master bedroom. The hallway bathroom had fescues and urine that had been sitting for I don’t know how long, but it was potent! We opened the window and flushed the toilet. When we checked the showers for water pressure, the master bath spout caulking is lose and the fixture pulls away from the wall, which will eventually break if not fixed. When I called the local host about the internet and told her about the dirty toilet and shower issue she asked me “what did you do?” She also claimed being there the day before, which is impossible unless her or someon she brought never flushed. Anyway, there are 2 hosts and both were difficult to reach and it was stressful. The last time I spoke with Gertrude, she hung up on me. I dealt directly with Evolve customer service after that and they were fantastic and friendly! The living room was fine, couch reclines, kitchen was okay, there are a ton of plates, bowls, cups and new air fryer/toaster/k-cup coffee maker. The utensils on the counter had dried food on them, so we took all the silverware and a bunch of plates and washed them. There were Clorox wipes and we had to wipe all bathroom faucets, countertops and the refrigerator out. The back patio is great, but when you look down there is garbage all over and a huge used condom right outside the back basement door. That’s nasty.

  Having a garage was fantastic. But there is NO washer/dryer as the advertisement says. I came there having packed lighter, knowing I could wash clothes and then couldn’t.

  Once the internet was finally fixed by the late evening of our arrival day, that helped a lot, but that should be checked by cleaning crew in advance of someone arriving.

  I have not received any discount or refund either.

• Pleasant surprise

  4/5

  We had a perfect vacation and the place was kept nice.

  Our checkin time was 3.00 pm, when we arrived there, some cleaning was still in progress so they asked us to come an hr later. it was a bit strange as we were all tired and wanted to get some rest..but had to go to cofee shop and kill sometime..once we entered the property, everything is fine.
