This stay started off badly and didn’t get much better.
Let’s start off with the only positive: The space was as big as described. We had plenty of room and beds for 6 adults, 3 kids under 5, and a newborn. The kitchen area was mostly updated, as were parts of the master suite.
The house is filthy. We checked in around 4:30, and realized the the upstairs had not been cleaned very well. Contacted the hosts, and they sent a person to clean it within 30 minutes. Impressive. She apologized and said she needed at least another hour to finish. We didn’t want to be there during this, so we left. And finished checking in when she was done, about 6:15.
Our biggest issue was the laminate flooring: It was filthy. The cleaner came back to sweep, but those floors have not really been cleaned in a long time.
We stared to put things in the fridge and freezer. That was a problem. There were open containers of ice cream and frozen soda bottles, and the fridge had open containers of tomato sauce and paste and bottles of bbq sauces. The shelves had not been pulled out and wiped down in quite a while, as there were spills between the glass shelves.
As our group started arriving, other things were discovered as they started putting things away: Earwigs in bedding, family photos and personal belongs on the walls and shelves. Plastic indoor plants that had not been wiped down or dusted in a VERY long time.
Not what we’ve come to expect in our previous VRBO experiences.
