Engagement Celebration

Shocking. The house was faling apart. We went outside to get fresh air from the mildew smell inside. But a horrible odor from the covered patio furnuture inducated something died. The owner never came to remove the dead animal. I've stayed VRBO on several continents and never, I mean never, stayed in such a chaotic, filthy, decrepid mess.

Quick graduation trip

Appeared as if someone lived there. Was not clean. Dirty toilets. 1 bathroom was the size of a closet. Belongings and medications were left out. Simply filthy. Smelled terrible and their were scent diffusers in every room trying to cover it up. A bedroom was a converted room and not an actual bedroom. Disappointed.

Not good

This is my first time with this APP and the experience was not good . The house is in a great neighborhood,it’s a beautiful house with no maintenance. When we get there nobody response the messages thru the APP,I had to call Vrb and they contacted the host ,He came and clean the house quickly but was not a cleaning like suppose to be,he didn’t pay attention that was a reservation for that day. We accepted stay because was late and raining just I didn’t expect that During the night the house has a big noise from the AC-heather system that stop around 5 am.
