I am very pleased with this VRBO! It is perfect for my needs while I transition in to a permanent place. The location is great for access to the city and the historic sites. Dr. Mia made everything very easy to check in and had the lights and air conditioner on for me when I checked in.

Disliked: Cleanliness
If you buy cheap..
The Owner I’ll say was very reasonable and great with communication. Even if there was an emergency was willing to work with you with any adjustments with your stay. However, being told I had to wait outside while having the “maintenance” man work was rather annoying. Had to do regular maintenance on the humidifier, and air conditioner was also also something I didn’t think I’d have to do, if you don’t it’ll be hot, humid, floors wet with the humidifier leaking. The neighborhood had the worse parking available, not to mention the amount of broken into cars in the neighborhood. There were more tarps, shower curtains and window curtains than I’ve ever seen in my life. Was it a cheap stay? Yes. Was the owner someone reasonable, and easy to work with? Yes. Will I stay at this location again? In the politest way. No.

A STAY FROM HELL
STAY AWAY! This place is a run down cramped basement with very old furniture and equipment, smelly, dirty, everything is either sticky or dusty or simply dirty. There’s spider webs on the ceiling, electric extension wires everywhere, the bathroom ceiling will touch your head and the shower is so small you can’t turn around when you shower. The bed sheets felt like sand paper. There was a power cut in the middle of the night. They refused to refund me even though I stayed for 1 night out of 7 and tried to charge me an additional $300 “air condition” fee. I had to get the help of my bank, cancel my card and dispute the transaction in order to block the “air condition fee” and get a temporary banks refund..it’s by far the worst place I’ve ever been to and a terrible experience...
