Very good

No communication from property manager autumn. Confirmed our stay as booked per VRBO, charged us. I emailed her that morning regarding access, never received a reply. Arrived at home and it was occupied by another family. Phoned autumn who started they don't operate through VRBO and her assistant "was supposed to contact" me. She offered us to stay in a smaller unit. She did not offer a discount or apology. We canceled our stay and had to find another place to stay last minute.
Very clean, cozy home. Perfect for our family of 6 while we were exploring Zion.
