The house is located in a run down area, which is described in the listing as “a transitioning neighborhood” I’d call it the ghetto or the hood. Not safe.
There was an unpleasant smell in the kitchen upon arrival, almost like cat food.
By the second day, there were hundreds of ants all over the kitchen. Two roaches were found in the bathroom. Bedcovers had stains.
The outside trash can was full upon arrival and by the next morning, the trash was spilling over onto the sidewalk. A dog, bad neighbors, or a homeless person rummaging through??? Not sure.
The host was notified with pictures and videos. They offered a 15% refund. That’s laughable. It took 3 more requests and a call to vrbo customer service to finally get the $94 refund. Videos and pictures were also sent to vrbo
You’ll be required to sign a 5 page rental agreement and provide a picture of yourself holding your driver’s license showing your date of birth and the street number to your address. If the credit card used to book is different than the person booking, that same picture info will be required of that person too. All this, according to them, in an effort to prevent credit card fraud. That’s the job of vrbo in my opinion.
The address of the home will not be provided until the morning of your check in.
None of this Information or requirements are disclosed in the listing information.
Your door code will not work until exactly 4pm so don’t try arriving even a few minutes early.
Just say NO to this one.
