The apartment itself is nice and looked to be recently renovated. It was stocked amply with pots, pans, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The location is very convenient with nice parks, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby.
I would rate my overall stay higher were it not for the inconsistent communication from the host.
1. The Vrbo listing noted that there was laundry (washer/dryer) on the premises, which was a primary reason we booked this location. The pre-checkin message we received from the host the day we were set to arrive noted that laundry wasn't available in the unit and that there wasn't a washer/dryer. We reached out about the laundry, and they informed us that this was an error with the listing (which I can see has since been corrected). They gave us the option to use the laundry in the home next door (presumably the owner). It was a sufficient workaround, but did feel awkward going into someone else's home when that wasn't what we signed up for when we booked this Vrbo.
2. In a pre-checkout message, the host communicated a steep late checkout fee, which is not noted on the Vrbo listing: "A late fee at the value of one nights stay after 15 minutes passed checkout time will be incurred for a late checkout."
3. The Vrbo listing and the host's original pre-checkout message indicated that our checkout time was 10:00AM, so we left before 10:00AM. We then received a message from them the day of our checkout at 9:00AM saying that checkout was at 11:00AM.
