While the exterior exuded rustic charm and quaint appeal, the interior fell short of basic cleanliness standards, greatly detracting from the overall experience.
As the closest accommodation to my dying sister, I expected a clean and comfortable environment to spend precious time with her. However, upon arrival, I was shocked to discover numerous cleanliness issues that significantly detracted from the experience.
The kitchen was marred by mice droppings scattered across the countertops and floors, creating an unsanitary living environment. Additionally, I found a child’s toy, crumbs, and mouse droppings in one of the beds, and mouse droppings on top of the other bed, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning between guests. Furthermore, dirt and old pills were discovered behind the dresser and under the beds, highlighting a gross neglect of basic hygiene standards.
These conditions not only compromised our comfort but also raised serious concerns about the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the property. Given the sensitive nature of my visit, I had expected better from a reputable rental service like VRBO.
I did contact the owner after checkout and he was receptive to hearing of the problems.
We were unable to pack up and move due to needing to focus on our remaining time with our dying sister.
