Overall the host was extremely attentive and provided prompt responses to all my questions from the moment I booked! Generally the house was fine and suited our needs.
However, I chose this property based on many reviews that stated the property was very clean or had 5 stars for cleanliness. I was disappointed as that wasnât my impression. We had to wash several dishes that were not clean (albeit, these weren't plates that typically go through the dishwasher, more like pots and pans, which would be very difficult to know unless you inspected every dish upon a guests departure... so I get its not the hosts fault, but still disappointing as it wasn't just one thing). The sponge in the kitchen was used, wet and smelled. In my experience with VRBOs there is usually a new, packaged sponge waiting, or very clearly it is brand new without packaging. No clean ones under the sink to replace with either.
The dishwasher was full upon arrival (clean, at least), as was the washer AND dryer. Needed dishes from the dishwasher so we unloaded. When we went to use the washer and dryer on the night before we leaving, we had two loads of towels / sheets to fold. Nothing out of the norm for Moms, but not ideal for a vacation!
As I said, Latisha was extremely responsive to questions we had or things we needed, these were just some things that were disappointing for a rental that I haven't encountered in other places!
