4/10 Poor

Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
It was subparIt was listed as downtown, however, downtown was 2 miles away and I was expecting to walk out my door and walk downtown and that was not the case. Your views from the windows are a parking lot with rusted out patio chairs, and furnitureThe air conditioner ran 24 seven and always felt hot to the touch. Therefore, I didn’t feel safe being there especially because it’s such an old house.I’m not experienced in Vrbo therefore I didn’t know that I would receive an email with the code to get in the house so I sat outside for over an hour messaging and calling the host several times and could not get through to her to find out that she was on a plane and couldn’t answer, but yet didn’t tell me that she was going to be on a plane and give me another contact in case I needed to get a hold of someone.

The photos are accurate to the location/view, It is hot outside therefore the metal window units will be hot to the touch from the outside. We note that the home itself it a historic home; therefore old. I do not have a secondary phone number to give to guests that was not with me on the plane. All the information was sent to your email, you had everything you needed to check in.
