I originally booked this house to house my teammates for a weekend tournament. We are all adults aged 45+ and responsible people. We have all travelled around the world so this was not our first rodeo with VRBO, but we had a few concerns with our stay here:
1. As we were all flying from different locations across the continent, we were not all arriving at the same time. On our first night, our Ubers arrived at the house at the same time so we greeted each other on the street. As we walked to the house to access our keys, one of the neighbours poked his head out to tell us to be quiet. While I understand that this is a quiet neighbourhood, we were not partying, but rather talking while unlocking doors. The guy just kept harping, very rudely, on how much noise we were making. Talk about a cold welcome.
2. A recommendation would be please put proper toilet paper in the house. We were all very frustrated at how thin the toilet paper was in all the bathrooms, so we bought our own. The house, in general, was very bare bones in terms of supplies. For the price, we were expecting a little more. There wasn’t even a bin for recycling.
3. On our last day, I got notified by the owner about charging us extra for the 5th person in the house. While the cost wasn’t a concern, it was the principle. The VRBO ad had indicated that the house can host up to 6 people, but nothing with reference to extra costs based on the number of people booked.
