Liked: Cleanliness
The stay is by and large pleasant. However, I do have a few thoughts.1. We weren’t aware that laundry detergent wasn’t provided. In all the VRBO properties we’ve stayed at previously, it was usually included, so this caught us a bit off guard.2. The upstairs bedroom was more of an open loft space rather than a fully enclosed room, which made it difficult to get restful sleep due to noise from downstairs.3. The AC control was a bit confusing, and I wasn’t able to adjust the temperature. As a result, the room stayed at 70F even during the night, which felt quite chilly in the morning.4. We noticed the coffee maker still had the used filter and grounds from a previous guest—perhaps something the cleaning team accidentally missed.
