BIG BEAUTIFUL New-Renovated 4BR 2BA with Hot Tub near downtown!

It was bigger than it looked online. It’s not to far from everything and the communication was great with the care takers

Definitely pros and cons to this property. For the pros it was very spacious and and was in a good location - a $15-$35 uber ride from downtown, less than 2 miles from the zoo. Checkin was easy and they promptly addressed a minor issue with the hot tub. It's in a very Latino area with lots of interesting options for authentic Mexican food (which unfortunately I didn't get a chance to try) For the cons, it had a general musty smell, which was often supplemented by other smells likely coming from the apartment upstairs (none of them pleasant) We also found 2 dead cockroaches on the floor (but no live one's, so maybe the place was recently treated?)

Was large enough unit for all of our party to enjoy the space. Enjoyed the hot tub out back, close to downtown

Used food was left in the fridge, very unsanitary. The vanity in the main bathroom did not work. The couch is wore out. You sink so deep into the couch cushions, you cannot get up easily. One of the arm rests has no padding. You can see the outline of framework. One of the living room chairs plastic is peeling off. Very unappealing looking. Pictures on the website do not match the house. Communication with the hosts was amazing.

Was told as we landed that the original house was still under renovation (the listing said newly renovated 2 months prior to our trip) and they needed to change our house. I appreciate them getting us another house but dont appreciate that we were told as we landed that the house was not available. The house given to us was not up to par. The ice machine had mold in it, utensils were lack there of. Just not what we signed up for. Came in to a dish washer full of dishes, clean, not clean? I dont know. Lamps with no lightbulbs, sink ready to fall apart. House needs some renovating. Tub had some stains or mold, not sure what it was. A closet that, im not sure what it was! Not to happy with the experience. Truley feel like we were hooked and reeled into one home, and the last minute we were given the opportunity to upgrade to this house. Do we call this baited? You tell me.

Great place

Our stay was decent and the host was sooooo helpful and quick to respond with any issues that arrived. We had a couple mishaps but the host fixed them right away. The house has a great big room in the back with lots of beds for my family to sleep while other relatives can take advantage of the other rooms. We chose this particular house because it offered a couple recliners and my father can only sleep in a recliner. There were plenty of resources and this place can be a great stay for many families. I gave a 3 star because beds had cheap mattresses, the laundry machines and furniture were pretty dated and the washers hose fell out while staying there so I had a big mess to clean up. Like I mentioned earlier, the host was very responsive and helpful. If you’re looking for luxury, this may not fit the bill. However, if you’re looking for some basic, clean, and great host then this is just the spot!

Overall we had a blast but there were somethings that needed improvement at the house. Some of the pots and pans were so nasty we couldnt use them and the oven was full of grease we had to scrub it to be able to use it. The communication was awesome with everyone. And the check in process was super easy.

I was not aware of tenants being upstairs or I would not have rented it due to having loud children and having to stay quiet. Mold in bathroom on ceiling and hot tub was disgusting. Dishwasher was left with dirty dishes when we arrived.

The communication was great from beginning to end. The location was great; super close to the zoo; and the Mexican restaurant nearby was phenomenal. Easy to get an uber downtown . The space the home afforded us was an incredible value for price and made our stay comfortable, being able to spread out. But the most impressive thing to me was the hosts reaching out to make sure we were okay in the middle of a huge storm cell with tornado risks over a long span of time and telling us how to be safe in case of a bad scenario. I’m sure the property is covered by insurance so this was an act of caring for the people they were hosting and was so appreciated! The hot tub was great to unwind in the first night after our 10 hour drive down. We would’ve definitely used it every night if the weather had cooperated!! Thanks again!

loved it

The house was nice enough, but the bathtub was dirty and it smelled of cigarette smoke. The listing was inaccurate. It said it sleeps 12, including 3 double sofa beds. There were zero sofa beds, but 3 couches. The owner did offer to bring another bed or air mattress but it just wasnt an ideal situation for us. There is also a person who lives upstairs, which we were not made aware of. We could hear banging and movement the whole time and we shared the driveway, and this included people making deliveries to the tennant upstairs.

When we first arrived, while we were checking out the bedrooms, we noticed that the back bedroom only had 2 beds and that the couches were not pull out double beds as indicated in the listing. We had 3 teenagers and an 8 yr old. with us. While the teenagers made do with the bed situation the 8 year old had to sleep with an adult. The remaining bedrooms were fine, but with the exception of the bedroom with the King bed. This house was converted from 2 duplex homes to one, and the front bedroom with the king bed had the original door entrance to it. This door was locked, but came open in the middle of the night. We double checked both front doors before leaving each time, but that particular door did not always lock. Kitchen could use updated pans, utensils, plates, cups and especially coffee cups, only espresso size cups were available for coffee, so we had to purchase our own. Washer did not work properly, we had to pay attention as the wash would stop in between cycles and we had to turn the knob to the next cycle for the wash to finish. The living room TV and front bedroom TV had to use the same remote. Both bathrooms were fine, a little oddly converted, but worked fine. Hot tub did not work properly either. The house reeked of cigarette smoke from the tenants upstairs so bad that we went out and bought candles for the house. The listing should be updated for this VRBO to include newer pictures and accurate description of the bedrooms.
