Marina Del Rey Problems
Under normal circumstances this would be a very positive review. The apartment is in a prime location, it’s well laid out and spacious and it’s with easy walking distance of restaurants and Venice Beach. But, on the second day of our 12 day stay we (or more correctly the “owners”) were served legal papers for the purpose of eviction! Clearly not the kind of stay we envisioned given that it appears the host/“owner” has no legal ownership or right to provide this apartment to VRBO. And while it turned out that we were able to stay for the duration, it was uncomfortable staying in a place that does not allow such third party rentals and where signs were posted advising third party rentals were in violation of the lease agreement. In light of this information the condition of the unit became understandable. It was poorly equipped with plates and utensils, linens were the bare minimum, the master closet had damage, they used tape to hold down the carpet and the blinds were broken and did not work in the master bedroom. We attempted to contact the host but never talked to the named individual, only a lady who claimed to be a booking agent and her comment was that we would be fine as there was no date given for the eviction. Our call to VRBO was a bit better. They advised us that should we be evicted they had a “special team” that would find us another location.
Needless to say, we won't be using this host anytime soon.
