Response from VrboOwner on 17 Oct, 2023
In my experience, I diligently reached out via email, text, and various points of contact both before, during, and after the stay. Regrettably, I never received any notification that there were issues with the property – in fact, the feedback I initially received indicated quite the opposite. It's important to note that Jarod wasn't the guest; rather, it was three workers, and I had also messaged them directly. To ensure a seamless experience, we even arranged for a cleaner to visit on the same day as their stay. I genuinely value open communication and if there had been any problems, I would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to address them promptly to improve their experience and that of future guests. I must express my disappointment in the breakdown of communication during this stay.
