Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I booked this rental in February for a late May bachelor party. The host would not respond to any messages and no one could get a hold of them, only for them to reach out ONE HOUR before my scheduled check in and say the house was not available in May, June, or July for maintenance. Awful experience!!!!
