Left After 45 Minutes — Bugs Everywhere and Still Got Charged

I showed up late at night and immediately noticed bugs all over the place — floors, walls, even near the bed. It was super gross and clearly not cleaned properly.I ended up leaving by 3 a.m., less than an hour after arriving, because there was no way I could sleep there. What really blew my mind was that I still got charged for the night and a cleaning fee — even though I was barely there and the place wasn’t clean to begin with.

Communication with Jason was effective. He was very responsive to our requests for fixing of a few issues. Rooms are well-sized and comfortable. Essential kitchen equipmen, pots and pans were available. In particular, vacuum cleaner was there which made it easy to clean up.Neighbourhood is safe. There is a public bus stop within a walking distance of 2 minutes.

What a DUMP in a *sketchy* area

Arrived at this rental after driving for four hours. The rental was not clean. Hair all over the beds and linens. Food stuck to cooking utensils and counter tops. Floors needed to be swept and mopped. Can’t lock the bedroom window, but there is a burglar bar placed over it. The images of this place depicted on vrbo DO NOT match up to what I got. Broken, dinged up furniture, mildew on lamp shades and I was forced to pay an unrefundable “damage” insurance. I contacted the host regarding safety/uncleanliness. He sent a cleaning person over, but there was still toothpaste in the bathroom sink, broken, dusty blinds, hair everywhere. Just disgusting. I asked to pay for one night and the cleaning fee (even though I was only there for two hours) and get a refund for the remainder of the rental period. Host refused. I didn’t want to leave a bad review. I didn’t want to contact vrbo about this. Host refused the refund….SO, if you are looking to rent this property, don’t walk…..RUN to a better location that doesn’t have a musty odor like this one. What is described and depicted in images is not what you will get. In the wise words of Betty Davis “what a dump”.

My wife had extensive back surgery at Duke. This condo was convenient to the hospital. it was comfortable and clean. I would recommend for anyone having a procedure at Duke Medical. The only issue I had was the price quoted increased as I booked the property.
