Sep 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### OK Stay was fine but I contacted mgmt the first day about an issue and never got a response. I needed to extend my stay by another month and when I emailed they quoted the same pricing as original stay. Cleaning fee, host fees all that when I wasn’t actually moving out. I called 5 times to speak to someone about the price. Twice they answered and said someone would call me back. After 3 more calls I just found another rental for the next month. The property was as expected but the host was terrible with communication. Thankfully I had no emergency issues while there. ##### Heather R.
