Fake reviews? not a 10 out of 10
I rely on the reviews when I book a VRBO and I felt I was misled. The booking doesn't lie...it is spacious, but in my opinion it was not luxurious nor was it a sanctuary. I would rate it a 6 out of 10. We left the condo unit within an hour of entering, telling the host we were unsatifisfied, and that we were leaving. He asked what the problem was, and I indicated that the skylight would be an issue for my husband who likes a completely dark room. The listing did show this, but I did not notice. The home appeared to be clean, but was very dingy and stained. I pulled a fry pan out of the cupboard, and I felt like I would have had to wash it before I used it...and then I still may not have used it due to the permanent scorch marks. My husband thought the towels hanging in the bathroom were damp. After I told the host the issue, I received no further communications. This is not a vacation home. It maybe is a place to get a good night's sleep and move on. I wish I had vetted the pictures closer and/or asked more questions before I booked this. We were a little flustered when we checked in, as there were 5 keys on a key chain for the locks...after trying multiple keys for the two doors that were locked, we managed to enter. I realize it was a very hot day, but I also do not think the air conditioner would have ever cooled down the unit to a comfortable level. I am very disappointed.
