This property is not at all what it appears to be in the pictures and the description. The building is very worn and rundown. The unit has a couple of updates, but overall is very dated and worn out. However, the biggest issue is that they are using some sort of cleaning products that leave the entire condo with an overpowering smell of toxic and cheap cleaning solution. The towels and the sheets are washed in some sort of extra fragrant product that make them difficult to use.
My wife and 11 year old son both had major allergic reactions after using the towels on their faces. My son's reaction was so bad that his face is still red and swollen a week later.
When we contacted the host for help on what to do about the smell, his suggestion was that we open the door to the back deck and the front window to create a breeze. The problem was twofold. First, the front window opens to an interior hallway of an old building that had an entirely different bad smell. And the back door opened to a deck where the neighbor above was outside smoking cigarettes.
I was forced to send my son to stay with an extended family member on the other side of town for the second night. But, none of us could handle a third night so I had to book a second hotel room and leave the property. When I relayed this to the host, I was ignored.
VRBO should be ashamed that there are not better standards. I've asked for a refund, and I'll update this review if I hear back.
