Very unclean. Cigarette smoke smell. Bad part of town.
I have never left a bad VRBO review. But here is an account of my experience:
1. Sketchy neighborhood. House next door is run-down. A male watched us, hawk-like, as we unloaded. A female approached us to ask questions about a dog. Given her mannerisms, countenance, and lack of cogency I suspect she was on a substance. I cannot prove it, but I suspect the dog was feigned cover to get information about us (clearly we were travelers and could not have had a local dog). The apartment parking lot is possibly a site for trafficking.
2. Cigarette smell. In the entire apartment, especially strong in back bedroom. Yuck.
3. Nasty dust. The wet-ish kind, that sticks together. All the ceiling ventilation fans were caked in it, also the wall behind the washer/dryer. Found a human hair on the tub side.
4. Dirty kitchen floor. Our cooler dribbled water. I wiped it up to find a dark paper towel. Yuck.
5. Noisy. Police sirens. Other people in the 4-plex—can hear arguing and people transiting the staircase.
6. At 9:30 pm, we decided to take the kids and go to a reputable hotel. Cost us $600+, but worth it.
7. Creepy neighbors. We extricated ourselves from the apartment and loaded up the car. There was a male standing in the dark up against the building, watching us. There was no plausible reason to be standing in a parking lot at that hour. In total, my “spidey senses” told me this place had something "very bad" afoot. We couldn’t get out fast enough.
