Family traveled to Charlotte to spend Christmas with grandson who is stationed at Fort Bragg. The kitchen was not equipped to prepare a simple dinner, much less a Christmas feast. The owner is a realtor and should know how to show hospitality to her guests.
The pots & pans were old and had gunk all over them; lots of lids for non-existing pots/pans; only 8 place settings (plates, silverware) so we were constantly washing dishes for our party of 6 adults and 1 child. You can buy quality items at a resale store, such as Goodwill, for very reasonable prices; the kitchen items should be scraped ⊠Goodwill would have a hard time selling the pots, pans, etc.
Tops of the island in the kitchen and a round coffee table in the living room werenât attached to their bases and constantly a hazard. I notified the owner of this and she said ârenovations were planned.â I feel ârenovations plannedâ should have shown in the description; if it were my house, I would take the listing out of service and when completed, then resist it at the price I paid.
Hostess listed bathroom items included, but no shampoo or soap found in house. The bedroom mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable to all of us. The sheets, towels and washcloths were not thick, much less luxurious. The furniture was only adequate; there was a dresser in the master, so I could unpack. Secondary bedrooms did not have any storage for socks, underwear, so my family lived out of a suitcase for the week. All cheap hotels have adequate storage, so guests can unpack!
It was expensive and very much overpriced ⊠I wish I had booked a hotel and gone out to eat for our familyâs Christmas dinner; I donât feel like I got my moneyâs worth.
As a VRBO owner in metro Atlanta, hospitality is the name of the game ⊠making your guests comfortable; providing an accurate description with supporting photos; providing items listed, etc.
I would NOT rent this house again, nor recommend it to anyone I know.
