• DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE ! Very Sketchy

  1/5

  Highly do not recommend booking this place. It is located in a very sketchy part of town, surrounded by nothing but abandoned homes. We arrived to random pieces of trash located all over the home, Urine on the bathroom floors, random half used men’s care items, half hung curtains, random food left behind, trash from previous stay , and half made beds that looked like they were slept in. We ended up getting a hotel downtown as that was safer and way less than the total of this property. We lost our money which is fine I guess. I’m 100% surprised this property is allowed on Vrbo, or any other site. Communication with owners was not timely. Customer service said this property was cleaned to its standard… not at all. They need a new cleaning service asap! I’ve stayed at a lot of Vrbos and this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. Save your money and just stay at a hotel HORRIBLE!

• House was nice but neighboring houses were questionable.

  3/5

  House was updated but neighborhood was sketchy. No plates, glasses, bowls or coffee mugs so drinking coffee was a challenge. House served its purpose but probably wouldn’t stay again. I like to wake up and take a walk but wouldn’t feel safe in this area.

• perfect for trade shows

  5/5

  Stayed here for a trade show at the convention center. It was only a short uber ride into town but allowed me to get away from it all at the end of the day.

• Nice but lacking alot

  3/5

  Upon check-in I was impressed with the overall look of the house. It was clean and seemed to be well thought out. It is in a quiet, if a little suspect, neighborhood. It is very close and convenient to lots to do in town. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. There are pots and pans but no cooking utensils. There are plates and bowls but they had never been used, still had the stickers and had never been washed. There is a dishwasher but it had not been plumbed. So after 30 minutes of the worst noise, the dishes hadn’t even gotten wet. The fridge was not plugged in, which makes sense during the times between stays, but I booked my stay 3 days prior and it had not been plugged in during the time between booking and checking in. There are 3 bedrooms with large and mostly comfortable beds but no blankets. The check out instructions ask that you “tidy up the place” but there were no paper towels or cleaning spray, which I purchased to clean up. With a little more attention to detail, this would be a great place to spend a few days but as it was for my stay, I would have preferred staying in a hotel. I hope this review is helpful to the owner/operator so that future guests do not have to deal with the small but ultimately frustrating nuisances I had to. For the price, I would have thought the home would have been much more ready for visitors to check in, enjoy their time, and check out feeling relaxed having enjoyed the peace, quiet and ease of a home rather than a hotel. As it is, there needs to be more thought put into what guests will expect when choosing a Vacation Rental as opposed to other accommodations.

  P.S. there are hella ants in the house

  Sincerely,

  Sean
