I rarely leave negative reviews, but future guests should be aware of what they’re booking.Before arrival, both my husband and I were required to provide photo IDs, photos of the front and back of our credit cards, a signed verification form, and a selfie holding our driver’s licenses before receiving the check-in code. I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and have never encountered a verification process this extensive. I was on my way to the airport and had to pull over to complete the requirements so my husband could access the unit at check-in.Upon arrival, the building appeared dated and poorly maintained. There was water and debris in the common areas, and the outdoor carpeted hallways had a strong damp, musty odor.Inside the unit, there was a noticeable musty smell along with a cigarette smoke odor. We also observed cobwebs on the ceiling. The bathroom appeared worn, had an unpleasant odor, and the shower temperature was difficult to regulate, frequently shifting between very hot and very cold.One concerning issue was that the smoke detector was hanging from the wall rather than being properly mounted.The listing advertises free parking, but parking is first-come, first-served. By the time we arrived, no spaces were available, which was frustrating and not something we expected when booking.Communication was also difficult. Reaching someone by phone was challenging, and resolving concerns during the stay was not as straightforward as expected
