We rented this VRBO for a month while my husband was working out of town. It was comfortable and close enough to most things that I could walk and did not need my own car. The internet worked great and the Owners were nice and responsive to any questions we had.

Unhappy
We are senior citizens 70 and above and the listing should state not recommended for seniors as there is no restroom on the main floor. It has a bath and a half. Full bath upstairs and half bath in basement. The stairs to both were horrible. When we arrived I couldn’t contact the owners so we had to stay. Sister-in-law fell down the stairs the last day. We were helping my husband as we were worried about him falling. The listing should have stated no restroom on main floor. I have never been in a place like that. The stairs were narrow and winding go upstairs. This was the first time I have ever rented from a VRBO and may never again

I rarely have unhappy guests; however, when a guest was not happy for any reason, I take it seriously, and I will try my best to make necessary changes for future guests. Therefore, your feedback is essential for me. However, what I find that a lack of communication. You had all my information but never communicated with me about your situation while in the house. Also, before you checked- in, it is standard practice for me to require guest details; you had the opportunity to give me the detail of the guests. But never mentioned there would be senior citizens 70 and above; nonetheless, If I knew, I would have offered you a different location suitable for your needs since I have many vacation rental properties in the area. The property description on VRBO is according to the platform's guidelines, and it is displayed correctly. There are two bathrooms, one on the second floor and the other one is in the basement. We do not want to discriminate against senior citizens who have not recommended the vacation rental. The stairs to both are not horrible it built according to the city code.
To conclude, I am so sorry to know you were not happy being first-time VRBO users. Better communication would have solved the problem if I dint know what was happening; how would I offered you a solution. I hope you will have a better experience in the future, and we will have the necessary changes on the property. Would you please save this email for a 10% discount for your next booking? Until then, all the best.

Dirty and ill-maintained property
The housecleaning was completely lacking. Below are some of the things that I observed:
House cleaning: (Just to name some of the things, there are more, it is clear that this house has not had a deep cleaning in a LONG time) - Gross brown spots on tile next to toilet (which looked suspiciously like blood; and I cleaned myself) - Towels don’t match, some are old and have gray tinge to them; they are not uniformly folded or placed on the shelf in any order - Shower curtain smells sour, there is pink mildew at the base - Stains on pillow case covers - Floors are not clean (particularly under the furniture and by the baseboards, but in general - Throw rugs are stained and dirty - Windows and window frames are filthy - Microwave front and inside has not been cleaned - Hand prints on the mirror in the tv room - Dirty smudges on the banister
Maintenance: - BBQ collapsed (Propane was not provided. If this is listed as an amenity it should be in working order with all the supplies) - Curtain rod in tv room slid off when I opened the curtains; it is taped together and the ends fell off - Gouge in the drywall above the door to the hallway - Floor board piece loose and sometimes comes off - Toilet seat hinge is broken causing the seat to slide sideways - Missing outlet covers thagain uponretu
We will happily stay at this location again. We loved the house, it was so charming and nicely furnished! We loved the front breakfast area (which became our family game space) and the upstairs nook. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking and the entire home was very clean. Neighborhood is quiet and near the Ralph. For us it was within walking distance (about 20 minute walk, 5 minute drive). I had a couple questions for the property manager and he was very responsive. One consideration is that the bathroom is upstairs and the stairwell is open and steep, so this may be challenging with small children or family members with disabilities. This wasn’t a concern for our family but worth noting for otbers. Overall I highly recommend this location!
