Miscommunication and information
Host was not clears at all about information with checking in. She had 4pm. on the Vrbo website, but emailed me a 5pm. check-in time when i contacted her to inquire about the discrepancy, she asked me to take a screenshot of it and send it to her. Why should I do that? She's the one that should look into what is listed on Vrbo. I asked for a 4pm. check-in and she never returned my request. She sent my husband and I two different lock codes for the front door. The inside door of the apt. did not lock properly. I sent her a message about that too. Again, she did not help us. We had to stick a chair under the door to keep it closed. Not being able to properly lock the door was nerve wracking because this place is not in a good neighborhood. I would not recommend this property to anyone. There is nothing comfortable about it, especially lacking a living room. Does not make it family friendly.
