Modern Luxurious Stay- Bidet- Lighted Mirror

8/10 Good

"VRBO is nice. It is attached to a house so you do get noise/smells from upstairs occasionally, but it turned off at 10pm at quiet hours. We received A LOT of automated messages about our stay, including regarding our snafu of not having a coffee filter/lack of coffee K cups, but no real solutions were offered, just platitudes. Place is clean, has good amenities, and it we were able to check in early for a fee. "
