I hate leaving a bad review but there are none so here it goes. It was sundown when we arrived - neighborhood did feel a little sketchy. No dedicated parking - only street parking where you have to move your car every 3 hours per the sign. The code directions to get in to the building were not clear.When we walked in the unit, it was warm - I tried the window unit in the main room - it was broken. Then I noticed how filthy it was. Carpets. Furniture. Walls. It also did not have the number of beds the listing said. Then.. The back porch was missing furniture. The back door didn’t lock. There was a lobby elevator access in the living room which felt unsafe. Toilet was broken.. and two more window units we found were also broken. I called the guy listed and he said he would send someone but they did not come while we were there. I got another message in the morning that they were then coming - not sure if they ever came because we left.I asked the guy if he knew everything was broken. He told me to call VRBO .. so I did. Sad there were no reviews for this listing as it was my daughter’s 21st birthday. It was pretty bad. We drove 10 hours to stay at this place and it was a nightmare. I was crying. lol Vrbo REALLY came through and refunded our money. (Thank you SO MUCH Vrbo!) we went up the road to The canopy Hilton which was beyond amazing. ![Broken light in bedroom. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f92e0f9e-cd3f-426f-8a79-28827806e163-1755131417931.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Stairs going up to bedrooms. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/333cd4d7-027a-49fa-8b6b-d39ca8d73c90-1755131443950.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Chair in main living room. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5fe6844-5043-4bd7-927b-baee7250febf-1755131474115.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e126b0ce-7bdf-4296-a4f4-d687fb31acbd-1755131472475.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie C.
