The owner was worried about a spetic smell, but the only smell in the house was wet dog. As I have an allergy to pet dander we covered the furniture to help keep the dander out of the air. It was too much and we did leave a full day early, it just was not worth staying another day. Most concerning is the slight mention of the hard water. Everything is covering in a thick hard film, but removable with hand washing. When you rent a house one would assume you would cook. I had to hand wash every glass, utensil, pan, not to mention the grill was obviously untouched and the last person who used it left it very dirty. I just did not have the time to clean it to use it.The coffee pot was completely rusted, the kitchen sprayer covered in mold, the blender on the counter was caked with white residue. In the knife block I removed two knifes covered in food. The kitchen island counter held together by duct tape. The dishwasher was covered in thick residue, it obviously is not going to clean dishes.Unfortunately, this is my third bad experience with VRBO's, so I am done. All of these properties charge the same as Northern Properties and I have never once had a bad experience in any of their locations. Can't waste my money again.
