Always Room for Improvement

The place was essentially as viewed; there were throws on all of the furniture. The outdoor sitting (front porch) was not clean enough for sitting and the home does smell like an old house. The property owner was very pleasant however, he appeared 1 day before our check date to clean the property. I rushed out to accommodate him. I just arrived home and believe that I forgot some important items.Overall I would say this is a good place to stay with a kind owner. However, be aware of communicating clearly. While I

The property was pretty cluttered/junky inside and out, but the decor was kinda cute in a maximalist way. The house smelled funky and many elements of the decor had clearly not been cleaned or dusted in ages. It smelled and looked like a flea market. The kitchen dishes & soaps were fairly dirty/nasty. Bathroom was decent. Plenty of paper and linen supplies to use.Communication with the host was very poor. I struggled to get into the lockbox at first and messaged the host, who did not respond right away. I got it figured out on my own, and a few hours later, the host responded with their direct number.Noise was a big problem. The house was split, with the other kitchen & laundry being directly behind one of the downstairs bedrooms. You could hear toilet flushing, machines and water running day or night from the other guests. The water usage in the other part of the house will also affect the water temperature in the lower part of the house. Our main problem was the upstairs guests, who were drinking, yelling, and blasting music all night long. Literally all night, from 10 pm to 5 am. I reached out to the host at 1:45 am and again at 6 am, and got no response. Poor communication, no enforcement of rules, disturbance from other guests, unkempt property. Will not return.

Suggestions

We have property on VRBO, so I am familiar with listing. I would not use a sweet smelling spray in that house. I opened windows to air it out. I would also take every single thing off of that front porch and power wash it and leave it that way. A couple of nice outdoor chairs would be fine but nothing else. Take the trash cans and put them in the back. These two things alone would make your place more appealing.

Shocked

I wasn't going to write a review but I have not heard if I will receive a refund as I was told i would. There is a very large storage area attached to the advertised vrbo with lots of items in it, a basement. I am 96% sure there was a squatter in there. I was originally going to stay about 2 weeks. After a snake jumped out at me in the laundry room though a hole in the floor i still stayed until the next day when i left for a few hours and came back to the clock on the microwave and on the oven being set to correct time. I know this had not been done when i left. Felt like this kind of stuff was happening the whole time and this was too much! I stayed about 7 days. I feel like the storage area should have been locked off from the rest of apt. I have been going on vacay alone since i was 18. Never been scared like that and I am from this area originally.
