"The home was lovely and very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay. However, the hot tub is false advertising. We were excited to enjoy this amenity, but sadly it was not filled. We messaged the host about this and didn’t hear anything back, which was disappointing. A simple explanation or brief apology would have been appreciated. The hot tub should not be featured so prominently in the listing. "
