Verbesserungswürdig: Sauberkeit
Nice location but TOO many personal belongings
To preface my review, I think this place definitely has the **potential** to be a 5 star stay. The location is phenomenal and the apartment as a whole is very nice. I really liked the TV in the bedroom since it was great to watch movies on it. However, this stay earns only 3 stars for the following reasons.
First, when I arrived, Kam did not provide any directions on how to get into my apartment or where the apartment would be located within his building, even though I messaged him on VRBO a couple of times before I arrived for check in instructions. I got lucky that my friends, who were renting the unit above the one I rented, were at home so they let me in and gave me Kam’s personal number. However, once I texted Kam, he did respond promptly to it (although that was 1-2 hours late iirc).
Second, the biggest disappointment to me with this apartment was that there were TOO many personal belongings in it. It felt like someone just stayed in it right before I came and it was not emptied out to my satisfaction. Here are a couple of examples:
1. The fridge and freezer were packed TO THE BRIM. There were so many items, including perishables like eggs (which remained there for 1.5 weeks as I stayed there) that were simply left behind. I didn’t even have 1 shelf to myself. This made it impossible for me to store stuff inside, which meant I was unable to stock up on groceries to actually cook at home.
2. In the bedroom, there were personal clothes scattered underneath the bed and a closet that seemed like someone just stuffed clothes within it (where it was overflowing and the closet remained open during my stay). This made it feel like I was literally living in someone’s bedroom for a week and a half, which is a very weird and unusual experience to have in a VRBO where you expect to have little to no personal items at all in the residence. This also felt rather unsafe during a pandemic, when you want to be extra cautious about being exposed to someone’s personal items.
3. The bathroom had many personal items, including a toothbrush (presumably owned by Kam) that was left behind on the bathroom sink.
If it weren’t for the fact that I think Kam seems like a nice person who might be new to hosting this residence to prospective VRBOers, I may have considered giving less than 3 stars.
However, all in all I did enjoy my stay here, although I don’t think I will be coming back to this particular VRBO in the future.
