Christy R., Fremont, NE USA

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Nice but had a few issues
Located right off the interstate and close to downtown but the actual neighborhood isn’t the greatest. Great communication with property manager. Answered emails and calls in a timely manner. The unit wasn’t clean. Lots of cobwebs. We purchased toilet paper and paper towels as there was only 2 rolls of tp and one roll of paper towels for 5 of us for a 4 night stay. The backyard was pretty…enjoyed sitting out there. The bathroom is remodeled and really nice. Could definitely use more cooking pots, pans and utensils.

Great Location/Great Getaway
I loved the location - close to downtown and a yard for my dog to play. I would definitely stay again!

Misrepresentation
The unit wasn't like the pictures or the description online. The beds were terrible, the bathroom door was partially off the hinges, there was no internet or TV service, and yard hadn't been cut in 2 or 3 weeks. I both called and emailed the management company the 1st day and heard nothing from them until after we left the next day. We were called away a day early for a family emergency.

Dirty and in need of maintenance
When we checked in, I instantly saw how much dust was in the home. Dust covering blinds, windows, shower head, tables…then noticed the hanging vent cover from the ceiling in one bedroom, the mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, wallpaper in bathroom pealing off the walls. When we finally went to bed in what appeared to be the cleanest room, it was clear the slats on the bed were out of place. The bottom half of the bed was basically on the floor. I messaged the owners and didn’t hear back from them until after we checked out. No refund and no apology…just thanked me for letting them know.
