Property was very nice and in great condition overall. The only thing to be aware of is parking is very tight, especially if you are driving a large SUV or pick-up truck.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The host was welcoming.. The description was not accurate as far as unit 6 the photos show a table with chairs, but we only found this old vintage futon with holes in the vinyl. Okay for one or two nights I guess. The King size bed and the futon consumes the room which leaves not much room for luggage or anything else. Really not sure Vrbo verified the accuracy of this listing. I guess it depends on how you read between the lines when comparing listings on Vrbo making a decision based on the photos and the description will sometimes get you disappointed. Would be nice to get what you expected, since you have paid top dollar.

Hi Joe, thank you for your honest feedback — we take listing accuracy seriously and you're right that photos should match what's in the unit. Since your stay, we've reviewed the furniture and photos for The Nest and are making updates to ensure everything is accurately represented. We've replaced the futon with a table. We value guests who help us improve, and we hope you'll consider giving us another chance.
