Anna, thanks for being such a courteous helpful guest. I appreciate you always thinking of the neighbors and the property when moving about. The grass is beginning to come back alive in the back thanks to your care! It will be nice to have you as a neighbor in the near future in Hilltop!!

Thanks Teri! It was a joy to have your family as neighbors and guests! You all are so kind and joyful to be around. Talk soon!

It is difficult to respond to this guest's comments because for the first time since I have begun sharing my home with guests on VRBO has anyone disrespected my space in such a way as these guests. For the first time I had to keep a guests entire deposit for the following reasons: 1. They brought two dogs into my home without asking, despite the clear statement on my profile that dogs are not allowed, except under certain circumstances upon request and pet deposits are required. The white bed and light gray couch were full of black pet dander upon their departure as well as pet droppings that were left in the backyard. I had to spend considerable time and money to have the couch cleaned as well as the rest of the pet dander (Non-refundable pet deposit starts at $100/per pet). 2. Furniture including a framed picture and full length, wooden, framed mirror had been moved into the bedroom adjacent to the bed and carelessly rested upon the window shades, which are permanently damaged and could have broken the delicate single pane windows. 3. Guests invaded at least two clearly blocked off (door latch and heavy chairs in front) rooms and drank two bottles of booze, leaving the empty bottles there for me to find. 4. A wooden table in the basement was chipped, with the wood chips laying next to the damage, clearly indicating it was new damage. 5. Guests looked through hidden cupboards and used 10 candles, which were splashed with water spewing wax for me to clean up. 6. I never claim to have a toddler safe home, and they never asked. That said, I did leave dog/toddler gates that can be used to block the stairway and doors that can be closed to keep children safely within the living/kitchen area. I have never had issues with friends toddlers in the house. 7. The guests didn't understand that food in the fridge was left for their use and accused me of leaving perishables in the fridge! 8. When I was contacted about the toilet issue, I was out of town. I called my neighbor who came over with a plunger to resolve the issue and did it within a half hour of the call. Rude is not a characteristic any of my guests would use to describe me. 9. Guests who are in the home for less than 5 days have a minimum of 50 hooks and hangars throughout the home for their things and multiple dressers. The Monroe House is my home, designed to make everyone who comes in the door feel like they are at home themselves, it is not a rental property. Pictures of damage available.

Response: The Monroe Bungalow was built in 1924 and sometimes things go wrong. Having guests on the property puts a lot of wear and tear on it but, I take my reviews very seriously and work my butt off to improve what I can and keep the place spotless and welcoming. I do not falsely advertise as attested by all my other reviews. I do not advertise that the fireplace works, never have. I accommodated the many requests that I was made aware of for this tenant, even before their arrival, including a few discounts. Some people are never satisfied. Please remember you are renting a house, not a hotel room! I would never rent to this tenant either and I love my renters!!

Thank you Angella! I hope you do come back to Denver and stay with me again!

Thank you Karen! I hope you are doing well and your renovated home is all you wished for! I am glad you were able to extend your stay and the timing worked out so well. You were a joy to have as a guest!

Debbie was a great guest! Would love to have her anytime!

Nicole, Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We would love to have you again!

Thank you for the kind words Naeem! I hope that your future travels with VRBO are equally great experiences. You were an excellent guest!
