2/10
1) A month before we'd asked to check in early if possible. 1:00 the day of arrival asked host to pls let us know if the apt was ready early. Host said OK, then never msgd back either way. We showed up at 3:00 and it was ready, prep crew long gone. Parking is tight and outside apt area feels exposed. Noticed filthy baseboards and "fuzz" in the rusty HVAC outlets. Otherwise eh clean inside. 2) Heat was off and apt was at 60F on arrival. Heat mode worked well - set to 68 the room warmed up nicely. At bedtime put thermostat to "Cool" on 65 and the room instead hit 82F while we slept. At 2:00 a.m we shut it off and opened a window. Host later said inop thermostat modes were explained in the description. Not really, read it for yourself.3) With the open window, we got a distinct odor of marijuana and cigarettes from either the downstairs or next door neighbor. The next night, Saturday, even with the windows closed we were nearly getting a contact buzz. Host suggested lighting candles & spraying air freshener & he can talk with neighbors but the last thing I wanted was intoxicated people next door mad at us. 8:00 a.m. the 3rd day I told Host we were not staying the 3rd night. Didn't reply till late evening, Then told me it was too late to get a refund bc I didn't cancel the resv thru VRBO - never mentioned THAT in the a.m! VRBO said they can't help after the "stay was completed". BTW Host never replied to phone call or text - VRBO msgs only with long lags.
