Booked for three days, left first day....Never did it say it is a duplex not a home. Would have never booked if I knew it was a duplex. Wanted privacy on this trip and definitely did not feel I received. Felt unsafe to leave my truck out in this neighborhood and parking is in a back alley (back of home), couldn't sleep so we left that same day we got there.

Nice place in fine location
Our 4 night stay during a June heat wave was very good. The A/C worked well, the house was very clean and well-equipped. Pre-arrival info was very helpful.

I hate giving bad reviews.
As we drove in, my husband shakily laughed and made a joke about how we might get shot, just by being in this area of town. Guys. Not good. It seemed to be a generally family area, but kinda run down. My husband immediately turned to our teenage cross country boys and informed them they wouldn’t be allowed to go running in this neighborhood while we were there. The overgrown bush above the swinging gate attacked me as I went through the gate. The lawn looked overdue to be mowed. The inside was generally clean, but in lots of areas run-down with shoddy attempts to “just paint over it.” The sliding door was caked with guck in the tracks. The awning above the sliding door outside is ripped and tattered. We have teenagers who refuse to share a blanket, let alone a bed. When we asked the property manager if we could get an extra blanket, his/her response was “just turn the AC to a less chilly setting.” Highly unhelpful. My husband kept saying the property itself “isn’t that bad.” In some ways he’s right. We’ve stayed in a couple of places worse than this one. I just hope to never stay here again. We didn’t hear a peep out of the neighbors that we shared a wall with, which surprised me. I try to be honest about my reviews, but of course we’re all biased. It’s good to have VRBOs in ALL price ranges for those who can’t afford better, but people should know what they’re signing up for so it doesn’t ruin someone’s vacation.

Great Stay
I booked this for my mother and grandmother to visit. We all had a great time cooking, playing games and having happy hour on the patio. The location is perfect and parking in the ally was super easy
