Misleading description!
Very loud (like a truck running its engine) in the middle of the night — kept us up most of our first night! Turns out, we discovered the next week, garbage trucks park at the back of the large, new-ish residential complex just behind the property and take their time dumping the large trash containers there… with lots of breaking glass noise, too! The description on the VRBO website greatly underplayed the disruption by the construction: “There is currently construction nearby that may add to the average street noise during working hours.” The construction was not “nearby;” it was right in front of the property, and the city ordinance only limits noise until 7:00 am, and the building does not have double pane windows, so the noise was LOUD. The dirt from the trucks going in and out of the construction site caused so much dust. A metal plate over one large hole in the street also made a loud booming sound every time cars drove over it, like a huge kettle drum! The microwave was not “plugged in” — but it turned out it was actually broken! It had to be replaced after the tech guy couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Shower upstairs drained very slowly so that even if you turned off the water to soap, it didn’t drain enough so that your feet were still in a puddle! The downstairs sink also didn’t drain. (My husband got Drano.)
Some of the towels were very stinky — as though they had been left in the washing machine too long and got mildewy. We had to launder them..many more issues!
