I have never encountered a more falsely advertised rental property than this one. The photos and the description, “Attractive updated first-floor condo with a fireplace and beautiful views,” are either severely outdated or completely misleading. I would strongly advise anyone considering this property (VRBO Property ID: 5291769) to look elsewhere.
To start, the electronic door lock did not work. Once inside, it became clear that the entire condo is worn out, dated, and poorly maintained. The furniture is tired and shabby, and there are mismatched wood trim pieces, doors, and cabinets throughout the unit. If this property has been “updated,” it certainly was not anytime recently.
The biggest shock was the flooring. The online photos clearly show what appears to be wood flooring in the living area. In reality, it is a filthy carpet covered with large dirt spots, stains, and heavy wear. It was frankly disgusting and nothing like what is represented in the listing. I have attached photos as evidence. The fireplace insert also appears to be improperly fitted and looks unfinished and unattractive.
The problems did not stop there. Numerous window blinds were damaged, and at least four of the upstairs blinds would not open, blocking what should have been some of the property’s better views. Several appliances were also not functional, including the blender.
To make matters even worse, at least one mouse was seen inside the property during our stay.
