house was ok. communication not the best
The house itself was okay and matched the listing, but the check-in process was a hassle. I received confirmation that my verification had been completed three nights before arrival, but just a day before check-in, I was told there was an issue and that my booking might be canceled due to an incomplete verification process. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Communication was also frustrating—since it was managed through a broker office, I ended up speaking with different people who gave me inconsistent information. Overall, the stay was fine once I got in, but the experience leading up to it could definitely be improved. Also, we ran out of toilet paper and was told they only supply one and I needed to buy my own
