Several fun, cosmetic improvements were made to this old house; artificial ivy on the walls, a large “Fredericksburg” neon sign, wine cask cut outs, etc. The host was responsive. Unfortunately, the underlying structure has not been updated and was poorly maintained.For example;· The closet space was very limited. There was one place in the house to hang clothes.· The unfenced backyard is shared with another VRBO on the same property. Both allow dogs, which can be an issue. (This was not noted on the listing - we found out upon check in)· Use of the oven and microwave at same time trips the breaker· Kitchen lights and refrigerator breaker trips – cause is unknown· Downstairs tv is not connected· The VRBO listing as sleeping 14, but the seating area(s) are too small and/or inadequately furnished to accommodate more than 6. We had ten people.· The kitchen water pressure was very low.· Dripping bathtub faucet, stained bathtub, mold around the bathtub.Property maintenance / management was also poor. For example:· The yard was filled with leaves, branches and some trash.· Insufficient towels and hand towels for ten people· The thermostat was locked – must call the host to change from heat to cool and/or change the schedule.· The kitchen faucet was plugged with rust.· The downstairs bathroom sink drain was plugged.
