Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Disappointed Room not ready,forgot our reservation, bathroom shared and down to first floor,and through livingroom. Nice older lady with financial concerns, not up to operating a three room vrbo. There was a $25 perday parking charge which we did know about. The interior was in fairly poor condition, loose wallpaper, doors hard to open and close. New tile or hard scrubbing in the very outdatedshared shower. ##### Larry H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shoshana S. Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Communication #### Needs improvements I arrived on a rainy night, not knowing there were several steps up to the front door as there was only a picture of the back door on the VRBO page. I tripped up and hurt my knee carrying my bags up the stairs. The host was not only unsympathetic but blamed me for not “reading the description” and asked if I wanted to see her bruises from falls!! The photos gave the impression that this would be a private space with bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. However, these are rooms within the hosts house with the bathroom and kitchenette downstairs. This was cumbersome to deal with. Also, there are no curtains on the bedroom windows so while changing at night, neighbors in the property across the road could potentially see into my room. Unfortunately, despite her attempts to apologize for her rude behavior, I felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable in this VRBO. Also, I had to give a $1500 deposit for this awful experience. ##### Shoshana S.
