Two days before our reservation, I messaged the host to inquire about previously discussed early check. No response.
I messaged again the day before because we still had not received any check in info. No response. When we landed, I texted the host, hoping we would get a response about how to even access our unit. Radio silence. We finally called as our check in time approached, and the host rudely suggested he already sent the check in info (he had not, nor has he shared the check info with VRBO).
We accessed the unit and everything seemed alright. The absolute bare essentials are included. I wouldn't plan on cooking much as a lot of the essentials are missing. The floor was also filthy.
A chair broke while a friend was sitting in it and she almost hit her head. The unit was very cheaply made and furnished.
The day before we were supposed to check out, one of my friends came out of her bedroom to see a man in the stairwell. I called the host and he tried to put the blame on me. He claimed he "tried" to call and we didn't answer so his maintenance man went in to fix the stairs. I explained that it is unacceptable to send a strange man into a unit of 5 women without notifying them.
The only redeeming quality of the unit is the location. We were in town for a convention at the orange county convention center and it was a very easy walk there.
