The home is a beautiful home,The owner or whoever the cleaner is needs to pay close detailed to cleaning in between each guest. Stove top dirty, refrigerator & freezer dirty,microwave past dirty,sink drawer had mice dropping,Floors a lil dirty, Hall bathroom dust dead bug in window seal,bathtub not clean dead spider on it hair on side of tub used bar of soap on tub.Camole seat had dried urine on it,dust on back of tank, sink dirty hair on it,Master bedroom had hair inside of L sink.Patio door fiflty. Ended up going to walmart purchasing sheets we slept sitting up on the sofa after spraying it with Lysol 3 trying to rest up to drive back to San Diego.Was suppose to be there for 2 days was there a lil less than 12 hrs.I had concerns of unseen germs since I had seen the seen.? What did I pay a cleaning free for if its dirty when I got there ? Host was very nice, lovely home but the home needs to be properly cleaned & disinfected in between guests.So not cool, I was not able to take my granddaughter to Merced university let her link up with her sister & bunk with her.I didnot want her near the house for fear of her catching something.News flash covid is still her as well as other illness. Host was super nice, I made her aware of my findings,honestly didnot want to report my findings, I honestly cannot afford to just give my away for such a horrible stay.She was only offering me 50% off of 1 day next time Iam in town. Pics speak a thousand words

So much better than a motel!
We loved this Vrbo! It was older but well maintained. The kitchen cabinets were stocked enough for our basic needs and the owner even had condiments and drinks in the fridge for us. The bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, conditioner and soap (good brands too). The laundry machines were easy to use and quick to wash and dry clothes. The house is close to grocery stores and restaurants, which was really nice. And a plus is it's in a nice neighborhood. My daughter and I went running a couple times while we stayed there and we felt completely safe. We'd 100% stay there again if we're in the area.

The house was perfect for our stay in Merced. The kitchen was one of the best equipped with any tool needed to prepare meals. Quiet neighborhood and convenient to shopping and restaurants.Kou responded quickly to any questions.Would definitely stay here again.
