Im not usually inclined to write reviews, especially bad ones, but if you’re thinking about staying at this vrbo here are some things to consider:
Upon arrival we had to call the host to get the correct code to the keypad and lockbox to open the doors - the codes sent in our check in email were incorrect. While talking on the phone he said he would text me the codes and provide further check in information such as parking. About 5 hours later I had to remind him to send this check in information because he had never sent it, this was after our whole group had already arrived and we had to figure it all out ourselves.
Parking was a mess. To start, someone in our group got a flat tire because of all the broken glass in the lot. While they were putting the spare on, some parking services car pulls up and says we need to pay to park there or we would be towed. no where in the listing or check-in information stated that the host only provides 2 parking passes. When we arrived, the host said we should “put a piece of paper on our windshield with the bnb address”. we ended up having to pay an additional $150 to park our cars. It is $10 per day per car. The host agreed to pay for half of those parking charges but it took me three weeks of VRBO messages, text messages, and phone calls to finally get reimbursed.
As for the building itself… Our first day we were also told someone would be arriving to fix the dishwasher that was broken. No one ever showed up and we had to do dishes for 14 people by hand for 5 days.
The one shower drain was also clogged. So we also had to share one shower among 14 people.
There were also mice in the apartment. many people of the group saw them.
And finally, the ceiling in one of the bedrooms leaked down onto the bed in the middle of the night.
I would have told the host about these issues during our stay but having a plumber, exterminator, and roofer at the place did not seem like an ideal vacation, let alone from the parking and lockbox code ordeals I could tell that not much would be done to fix these issues.
Finally, just be aware that the neighborhood is not great. We witnessed the police chase someone running away one night while on the balcony and only felt comfortable traveling in large groups.
Yes this is one of the cheapest places to hold 14 people and we had a great time, but you can decide if it is worth all these troubles.
