As the first customer to The Met through VRBO, my experience was fantastic though with a few hiccups.
About me and my booking:
- I'm originally from Ottawa
- I stayed (and tend to book for) 1 month
- I look for remote-work friendly locations
- I was their first booking through VRBO
The great:
- *Fantastic* location. You're close to some of the best things Ottawa has to offer, and conveniently across a great grocery store!
- Apartment is very clean and well-equipped for longer stays.
- Building amenities are great! Nice gym, lovely terrace to get work done / lounge. Didn't try the pool.
- Building staff are very friendly and amenable!
Could be better:
- As I booked before they expected guests through VRBO, my check-in was bumpy (though staff were quick to help once realized). The check-in details do need to be updated on this posting.
- This isn't a lived-in home, so may not have some kitchen appliances you might expect (e.g.: blender)
- Expected some compensation given the mix-up / bumpiness of first two days (building staff was great though)
- I booked expecting a desk (because of pictures) but didn't have one, so just double check with staff about specific accommodations
Will add that The Met has a website of its own and issues I faced would no doubt be circumvented short-term going through them directly, until their VRBO posting is fleshed out.
Would definitely stay here again in the future!
