My partner and I intended to spend the weekend in Fort Lauderdale - upon arriving, the location of the actual unit was a bit difficult to find, but Robert quickly received and responded to my messages and even called. Once we entered into the space, we were immediately shocked with the heat of the room and over powering smell of mildew. The air had not been turned on all day, I am assuming, and it felt like a sauna in there. The humidity made things sticky - it is a tiny window unit, and would have taken hours to cool the room. It felt like 95 degrees at 9pm. After spending 5 min inside, we noticed the bugs/ants everywhere. Robert claimed to have no knowledge of them, but also stated that he had the place fumigated the night before, and suggested he would fumigate during our stay -- I am not sure how that would have worked with our pet and our stay to have been present with fumigation chemicals??? The bed was also not cleaned. We ended up taking pictures of the bed (the human fluids, grease, and stains), the bugs, and the gap under the ac unit where the bugs were probably coming through and sending to Vrbo HQ for a refund (Robert was unwilling to refund at all). After respectfully messaging with Robert, he did offer us the option of a discount if we stayed, however, at its current state, the place is not inhabitable. If he actually does a deep cleaning and is genuine with what he states and wants for the space, it will absolutely be a gem for singles/couples bc of location.
