Jan 29, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Terrible host don't stay here The apt is a 30 min drive to tacoma. It's small and musty. We stayed for a month. Now where do I start.... Broken closet door and dirty carpets to start. There is no dishwasher in the tiny kitchen with small fridge. The laundry is in a shared room in the apt complex. You'll have to wait your turn to do laundry. The heater went out in one of the bedrooms the second I turned it on. The rest of the stay I froze in the 40 degree room. There were someone's dirty clothes under one bed, the other bed had condom wrappers and tampons. We did an excellent job cleaning after our stay, and the host is now charging us for their broken heater and filthy apt, over 200!!! There were no tv services. The water in the rusted tub would ruin cold after 5 minutes in the shower. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME AT THIS APARTMENT. THEY SUCK AND SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM VRBO! ##### Greta S. Stayed 31 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sandy T. Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### DON"T stay here! This is 1st time I've ever given negative review on VRBO. Got there after all day trip. Bed had bugs and hairs - look like sheets hadn't been changed Host responded, but said they couldn't resolve issue that night. Course, we left and stayed at hotel - not sleeping in those conditions. Host will NOT refund hotel stay - unacceptable. Unsanitary conditions. There was also a dirty, wet towel in bathroom. Water stood in tub during shower - typically 4-6 inches. Hot water ran out one day - totally. Heater in bath coming off wall. Heaters in other rooms had black stuff - we're not sure if mold or what. Our family saw spots (Mold?) on wall literally during a facetime call ONLY 1 towel per person for 8 days. No bathmat (we had to use a dishtowel for floor). Doors in bedrooms swayed, off hinges - totally broken. Hook on back of bathroom door, holding a towel, broke off. While pictures might look fine, it's not. Especially bathroom. Didn't care that things were outdated or no dishwasher. No lamps on bedside tables. Cheap furniture. Nor no way for any ice. Horrible stay and worst of all, guess they expected us to sleep with bugs and hairs in bed. Totally didn't care. ##### Sandy T.
