What we all loved about this property was the rooftop. Magical. The condo is also close to everything. I very much appreciated the availability of the property manager when things went awry, always answered our call. The condo was plentifully stocked with paper towels, dish tabs, and toilet paper, which is usually not the case with VRBOs.
The downside is that there are several downsides. The property is lacking in cleanliness. Within ten minutes of walking around barefoot and unpacking our luggage, the bottoms of our feet were black. Almost every comforter was stained, one in particular looked to have a deep puke stain. All of the Teflon coated cookware was scratched up and needs replacing. The keurig could use a good cleaning too (moldy reservoir). The neighborhood is pretty sketchy, but there is a police station across the street. Still, we did not feel safe enough to be in the parking lot after dark. There are TONS of stairs (would be hard on the elderly), and HVAC was inefficient. Only two rooms were cool. Hot in all the others.
Something happened to us that was both inconvenient and terrifying, but the property manger did answer our phone calls and helped remedy the situation. We were locked in the hot garage with young children for about fifteen minutes because the door code suddenly changed and no longer worked. Not sure what would’ve happened to our family though, if we didn’t have a cell phone on hand!
