Dishonest or at the very least completely misleading.
We booked this stay to visit family at The University of Tulsa. The listing on VRBO showed the approximate location of the house to be in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance of the University. We were sent the actual address on the day of check-in and upon arrival we thought that we had made a mistake with the gps. After double-checking, we realized that the house was not near the location shown on the VRBO listing but several blocks away and directly facing HWY 64. The only thing between the front yard and the freeway was the busy access road. Sitting in the house, the constant noise of vehicles passing was much more than we bargained for.
After an immediate call to VRBO, their two attempts to contact the host and were unsuccessful. With the evening coming and family events planned we decided to go to the events and try and sleep at the house that evening. Unfortunately, the noise made getting any real rest impossible. We decided to leave a full day early. An email to the host of our departure got no reply.
The house was clean and nicely appointed, aside from some dark mold spots on the shower curtain, very clean.
We found it odd that the large front window had big manufacturer's sticks on it. Like it had recently been replaced. Searching to see if others had experienced that location issue we had we found that a gang murder had happened there on Jan 1, 2024. Obviously the house was repaired, but the safety of the location seemed suspect.
