Great location, but very basic apartment. No kitchen area at all- There was a coffee machine, fridge and a kettle but no mugs, cups or cutlery. Plenty of shops, cafes and bars around so as a place to lay your head it was fine.

The single worst place I have ever stayed.The property wasn't even cleaned until 9 p.m. on the day we arrived. The overwhelming smell of Lysol initially masked the mold and musty odors, which alternated with the unmistakable smell of cat urine that resurfaced the following night.By the second night, the conditions were so unbearable that I had to flee in the middle of the night and check into a nearby Radisson just to get some sleep. As someone with asthma and a mold allergy, this was not simply an unpleasant stay—it was a potentially life-threatening experience.And what did VRBO do about it? Absolutely nothing. Just an endless runaround, with no meaningful assistance or accountability. I will never trust VRBO or its so-called "insurance" again.Even setting aside the appalling odors and health concerns, the accommodations were dreadful. The sheets seemed decades old, the pillows were as hard as rocks, and there wasn't a single hook or towel bar anywhere—not even in the bathroom, which was illuminated by one dim bulb that gave it the atmosphere of a prison cell.The only positive thing I can say is that the location was very central. Unfortunately, no amount of convenience could make up for the filthy conditions, sleepless nights, and complete lack of support from VRBO.Without question, the worst rental experience I have ever had, full stop,

Comment décrire une telle déconvenue ? Habituellement je ne tiens pas compte des avis qui semblent être du chantage, mais là, j'aurais dû. Après plus d'une heure perdue à cause d'une géolocalisation erronée, nous trouvons enfin la porte. Un couloir sans lumière, jonché de courrier. Plus loin, le sol disparaît sous du linge sale débordant de sacs. Le logement est en sous-sol, accessible par un escalier étroit, raide, sans lumière ni rampe, et couvert de linge sale : j'y suis tombé, marchant avec deux béquilles. En bas, la porte B1 est entrouverte. Le code d'ouverture ne fonctionne pas ; le propriétaire, injoignable autrement que par messages laconiques, insinue notre incompétence et refuse de se déplacer. Nous devons bloquer une porte pour ne pas rester enfermés dehors, laissant nos affaires dans un logement resté ouvert tout le séjour. Trois pièces en enfilade : pour aller aux toilettes depuis une chambre, il faut traverser l'autre. Meubles sommaires, pas de chaises, matelas mous aux ressorts sentis, cafetière et bouilloire sans tasses ni café : purement décoratifs. Salle de bain : éclairage et VMC hors service, plafond moisi, carrelage sale, pas de papier toilette, une seule serviette pour tous. Bonus : préservatifs sur le bureau et chaussettes sales dans le lit, draps probablement jamais changés. Bien situé près de Trafalgar Square, mais aucune isolation phonique : pubs bruyants, voisins du dessus à 3h du matin, goutte-à-goutte permanent dans les canalisations.

Sucio. Sin limpiar en absoluto. Sin toallas ni sabanas limpias. Carece de ventilacion y las ventanas no funcionan bien. Nos tuvimos que ir a otro sitio y espero un reembolso. Nunca habia estado en un lugar tan detrimente y el encargado nunca se volvio a comunicar cuando me queje por mensaje. 0 de 10. El peor.

The property smelled musty. We woke up the first morning to water coming through our bathroom ceiling from the flat above. Tried to contact host. NEVER replied or fixed issue. Mold was growing from the walls and ceiling when we left 2 days later. The place was scarcely furnished withe towels or bed linens and we had to use 1 towel to mop our bathroom!Was afraid to check out because we didn't know where to go or if we would ever receive reimbursement for nights since owner was NOT REPONSIVE!

Arrivée à 15h l'appartement était dans un état pitoyable, le ménage n'avait pas été fait et draps non changé, odeur de moisi et d'humidité. Le seul point positif la localisation proche de tout . L'annonce ne précisait pas que c'était 2 chambres dans une cave humide sans Vmc et avec de la moisissure sur les murs. Location insalubre à fuire

Booking was done on 12th April. Host contacted on 9th May about sleeping arrangement 9th May, host responded 17th May. Host sent entrance code on check in day 19th June AM. Check in is from 3PM. We arrived at 6PM to see that the property was completely left in a disgusting state. rubbish everywhere, dirty bed sheets etc. Contacted the host via chat function with no reply. Contacted vrbo help desk who gave me the host number. Rang the host who was very short with me (a lot of people and kids in the background) saying "I am going to check what happened, it will be done" then pretty much hung up. Made vrbo aware that we were leaving our bags for dinner and expected the flat to be clean and ready when we were coming back, and asked them for a plan B which they refused to start thinking about. When came back to property, nothing had been done. Had to waste more time with vrbo online and the phone at 11PM who know said to book another property for 1 night only and that they will reimburse a flat fare. Told them I did not wish to access the property for 2nd night and they sent listings of properties/hotels for me to book within their price range but for the wrong date (in a month) so was actually five times more expensive.. vrbo now refuses to reimburse the difference. Filing official complaint.

Lo único que me gustó fue la ubicación del alquiler y las facilidades para acceder al apartamento. El resto fué todo un desastre, después que recibimos las instrucciones para la llegada, que fueron precisas, al igual que los códigos para acceder al apartamento, una vez allí, constatamos que todo estaba totalmente sucio, el baño sucio, mojado y con tohallas en el suelo, la ropa de cama usada en las habitaciones tirada en el suelo, las camas sin hacer, todo esto lo comunicamos al anfitrión a través de Vrbo, este inicialmente nos comunicó que hablaría con su staff de limpieza y que resolvería en un breve plazo de tiempo, lo cual no fue así, nadie acudió ni a limpiar, ni a ofrecernos nada, escribimos nueva y reiteradamente al anfitrión y más nunca nos respondió, hasta la fecha de hoy no hemos tenido ninguna otra respuesta, pese a nuestra insistencia, ni siquiera llamándole por teléfono a costo nuestro, ni pudimos asearnos en esas condiciones y mal dormimos sentados en butaca y en el suelo Estoy intentando hacer reclamación formal a través de la plataforma Vrbo y se me hace muy difícil contactar directamente con un agente y en el único momento que lo logré, después de haberle comunicado todo, me pidió le enviará fotos y al hacerlo he perdido la comunicación
