Misleading info but inside decent but never stayed!
Old apt bldg. Owner to leave keys in lockbox. Entered small, locked entry way. Old busted up mailboxes hanging on wall. Entry door locked. Thought how to get in? Saw small black box in corner behind me, smacked it a few times. Fell open, saw it was lock box. Used 4-digit code owner supplied. Climbed 6 sets of stairs to third floor to apt #16. I'm handicapped, my wife has emphysema. Never knew it was 3 floors up. That doesn't work! Went into apt. Furnished nicely but floors had fake red rose petals or hearts all over floors. Mylar Valentine ballons in living room & bedroom. Rose on bed. Hallway lined with the petals and votive candles. Nice welcoming basket on dining table. I give owner a 10 for creativity but a 1 for sensibility. Am I or my wife going to walk over all the petals & votives? Maybe slip on them and get hurt? Texted owner. Told him we cannot walk all those steps. We cannot stay there. Maybe it's us being a first time VRBO renter not asking about steps. Assumed owner would include three flight walk-ups in description. Should have said lock box in entry way & not at apt. Location was only 4 blocks from our destination where my daughter birthday party was. Am I still charged for cleaning fee since we did not stay? Had to find hotel 20 minutes away. Got last available room. ---Irritated & Frustrated All Weekend!!!!
