Family visit

Clean but construction on property during our stay 8 am to 5 pm business days. Lot of dust particles floating around. Not good if you have asthma. Hopefully not a problem for next occupants.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
The apartment was peaceful and pretty accurate to description. Nice location within walking distance to stores. I lost the entry key after a week, Vrbo contact the host for me and I regained access promptly, host communicated continuously. However the television in the main room had a major defect that is not obvious until the tv is powered on. I contact the host immediately after discovery which was about 2 hours after my arrival. He responded the next day, mentioning major damage and claims. I asked for a replacement and it did not happen. There was minimal TV watched in the main room and that really put a damper on the trip. Host was dismissive and condescending and made it clear that he was not going to take a loss in revenue of which was not my damage.

Structure bldg is unsafe

There are 2 apartments in that bldg with a City Notification: “this structure is unsafe..” We didn’t feel safe staying there, open door of apartment and came out after 5 minutes. Owner didn’t call me back, just send text and didn’t give me any credit.
