The house was as advertised and they warned about stairs. It had a lot of space which was nice The third floor was chilly due to air conditioner in window that was not well sealed. We were awakened by drunk parties around 330/4 am on two nights. Not the owners fault of course. Nothing extra in the house. No coffee. No condiments. Come prepared. We did have issue with microwave and management company was very responsive.

We appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback. Glad to hear the home matched the listing, the space worked well for your group, and that our team was quick to jump in when the microwave acted up. That’s always the goal. We hear you on the chilly third floor and the late night noise. While some of that is out of our hands, it’s still frustrating to deal with, especially when you’re trying to get some sleep. The note about the AC seal is helpful and something we can look into. We also appreciate the callout about bringing your own coffee and basics so future guests know what to expect. Thanks again for staying with us and for the honest review. If you find yourself back in the area, we’d be happy to host you again under hopefully quieter circumstances.

The house could use some updates and the location is so so. That said, it’s a great value if you have a bunch of people. Walkable to Nippert Stadium, if you don’t mind hills. I even walked to the Zoo which was 30-40 minutes.

This Old House

The house was huge in size, (that's what you're paying for). This house was very dated, with lots of stairs. The pictures posted make it look very bright, it's not. There are 4 bedrooms on the third level, as well as a bedroom on the 4th level. The stairs are very steep, not what you want when dealing with people of a certain age. The basement area, where the washer and dryer are located, looks like something out of Silence of the Lamb. Needless to say, we were very disappointed for the amount of money paid for this property.

Careful

At first, we were pleased and planned on using this property again because it met our needs. We were accepting of an imperfect property. Check-in was easy. The house was fine, although old. Suggested to add additional full length mirrors to all rooms. Mattresses are FIRM. The host will nicely force you to take out 2-3 trash bins on Sunday evenings, or fine you. Careful, the hill you have to take the cans down is tricky, especially when wet. I fell. Also, take pictures of EVERYTHING on arrival and be careful to sit on old furniture. We are now being fined $700 (the max amount) for a joist in the old, worn out couch that we did not break but are being wrongfully charged for. VRBO is not supportive of the guest, only the host. We won't be staying again. Not recommended.

Hi Cassandra, We’re sorry to hear you were unhappy with the stay, especially since you initially mentioned it met your needs. Our trash policy is clearly stated, and we didn’t receive any reports about difficulties or falls during your stay—we would have been happy to assist. As for the couch, it was found broken immediately after checkout, and the charge was processed based on clear evidence. We understand this can be frustrating, but we stand by the claim. We appreciate the feedback and wish you the best in your future travels

I wish I had read my own review before booking

Aside from the beds, which were very comfortable, most other amenities in this place were disappointing - with many falling apart. The chair legs to almost all chairs were loose and dangerous. The couch in the main room was shockingly uncomfortable. Bathrooms were missing complete towel bars - with visible holes in many walls from poorly installed items. The one coffee table in the living room barely held together enough to hold the remote control. There were no additional supplies like toilet paper or paper towels as all were stored in a locked cabinet in the basement. This 5 bedroom house, which can comfortably fit 10 people, HAS ONLY 1 SHOWER and a measly 4-cup coffee maker. Can the next person who stays there look for specific repairs requested here (new safer dining room chairs, repaired towel bars, a couch you can comfortably sit in, etc.) as a sign of the property manager's commitment to improvements? If your experience was as poor as ours was - and specific improvements are not made - you'll know that talk of improvements in the reply section are no more than empty promises.

Unpleasant Stay

At first, I was not going to complain until I received a charge of a little over 26 for missing silverware and a broken shower dispenser. Let me say that we have no use for a few missing silverware pieces & the shower dispenser must have already been broken. We took our own shampoo, conditioner, including body wash and did not use the dispensers. It is not the amount of 26 but the principle. This property is not in a very nice neighborhood. A vacant lot beside the property has overgrown weeds and grass as well as surrounding neighbors. There is no driveway so you must park on the street. Upon entering the property the A/C was set to heat and it was 77 degrees in the house while the temperatures during our stay were in the high 70's to low 80's and high humidity. We could not open windows to have any air circulation because most of the windows did not have screens. The windowsills had about an inch of dust and dingy. It is a very old house but that type of dust is not acceptable. It was so uncomfortable we could not sleep. We adjusted the AC to cool but there are not sufficient vents in the rooms to circulate or cool down enough to where we could sleep. The next morning, we woke up to ants in our groceries in the kitchen. We called to report the ants and the AC issue. While the ant problem was corrected, the AC was not so we spent miserable nights unable to sleep much.

Hi Sandra, We are really sorry to hear your stay was not what you were hoping for. That is never the kind of experience we want for our guests, and we truly understand how frustrating it can be when things feel off during a trip. We do want to clear up a few things. As soon as you let us know about the ants and the AC, we acted fast. Pest control came out the same day, and the AC tech was there the very next morning. He did find that a part was needed to fully fix the issue, but unfortunately that could not be installed until after your checkout. We get that the heat made it uncomfortable and we appreciate you sticking through it. The neighborhood is older and definitely has some character, which might not be everyone’s style, but it is a residential area where we have hosted a lot of happy guests over the years. About the charge, we hear you. It was never about the small amount, and we totally get that it felt unnecessary. Our cleaning team just reports what they find after checkout, and we try to stay consistent. That said, we are taking your feedback to heart and looking at how we can do better moving forward. Thanks again for staying with us. We are always working to improve, and your feedback helps us do that.

Nice Place, Some Things to Keep In Mind

We enjoyed staying at the property. The back porch and yard were very nice. The kitchen facilities were up to date, as were the bathrooms. However, there is only one shower (the master bath, on the top floor, only has a tub). Also, while the property is air-conditioned, getting the 2nd and 3rd floors, where the bedrooms are, comfortable enough to sleep in hot weather can be challenging. We had to reprogram the thermostat extensively as it was quite misconfigured, and keep the first floor uncomfortably cold to make the bedrooms acceptable. We also had a poor arrival experience. The electronic door lock was so out of alignment it was impossible to unlock and lock the front door reliably. In fact, we had to use the keys in the rear door lockbox to gain access. This was clearly a known issue, as the check-in instructions, and a hand-written sign on the front door, described the process one had to follow to gain access. I don't like it when property owners are clearly aware of a problem but have chosen not to resolve it. To their credit, after I complained, the management company dispatched someone who repaired the front lock. It's too bad they hadn't done that earlier.

Appreciate you taking the time to leave some honest feedback. Glad you liked the place overall, but totally get how the thermostat and door lock stuff was a hassle. That kind of thing can really throw off the vibe, especially after a long trip. Good to hear our team got the lock taken care of once you flagged it. It should have been handled before you even got there. Thanks again for calling it out and for staying with us.
