Bed Bugs

I reached out to VRBO support and the host and never heard anything back regarding the bed bugs in one of the bedrooms. Pictures were sent to VRBO support and still nothing. We had to go buy blow up matresses. The master bedroom I did not even touch the bed. Also the location of this was awful. Driving up to the location is horrible. The outside appearance of the rental is terrible, seems it was some type of container turned into a rental space, however the inside besides the bed bugs was really nice. The host does not respond. I would not recommend this location to anyone!
