NO AIR CONDITIONING - Terrible support and communication

Tried to stay here with our family of 6 while daughter was playing softball at Louisville Slugger complex in Peoria over weekend of July 4th. Our experience here was terrible. The air conditioner was BROKEN and was getting up to 79-81 degrees in the house. I spent all afternoon the first day trying to get ahold of someone to help us. They said try to flip the breaker. But breaker box was in basement which was locked. Went back and forth on VRBO messaging about… go find the key in this lock box, what’s the code for it, key is not in there, then go find another lock box and check it for key, etc. This went on for hours. The host would not come help us. If you don’t want to provide support on a holiday, then DON’T offer a house for rent on a holiday. That’s the job you signed up for, if you rent a house on the 4th and the air conditioner breaks, you are going to have to go deal with it on the 4th. And now I’m still spending time trying to get the refund that was promised to us and the amount refunded is barely half that, so now I have to spend time today dealing what that. When it was getting above 80 in the house, my wife, 3 kids and 2 small dogs had to leave and drive home 6 hours in the night so that my daughter and me could move to a hotel to finish her softball tournament. We hoped to have a nice family trip for the 4th, and it turned into a terrible experience because of this property and lack of support. Obviously would never stay here again.

House was very clean and cozy. Owner was very responsive and in a timely manner.Didn't have outdoor seating as pictured. Remodel is very pretty. Left little guest bags for us.Mix up about the bathrooms. It is 1.5 not 2. Since that was my search feature I was very disappointed. Joseph was apologetic and very polite. Lacked a few desired items: extra blankets (plenty of towels!), hooks in living room and bedroom, an iron and ironing board. Little things that I'm sure will be rectified with time. Overall a pleasant little space and great communication. Thank you!
