While the cleaning crew did a decent job preparing this property just before we arrived, they unfortunately could not have overcome some real problems:
1. Older or "re-used" furniture generated a somewhat "musty" atmosphere to the entire property;
2. Sliding doors in both downstairs bedrooms got stuck and were very difficult to open -- a real inconvenience.
3. The door on the downstairs bathroom would often stick to the point of not being able to open without a great deal of pulling from the inside or without someone else having to push from the outside;
4. Both the balcony and the outside patio gave the impression of "shabbiness" -- older, cheap plastic furniture and too crowded on the balcony; not a real inviting patio atmosphere -- "junked up."
5. The property was difficult to locate within the development since the unit number was indicated by a small index card on the front window. There was only one "official" parking pass instead of the two that were to be included.
5. Most distressful, especially for our fifteen-year-old granddaughter (who was staying in the single-bed "efficiency" on the first floor) was her encounter with a rat late on the last night of our stay. Needless to say, she was "freaked out" and spent the night in bathroom with the door closed.
>>From our perspective, we can only conclude that the unit's owner has obviously neglected this property, and we're hard-pressed to understand why Vacasa has not intervened to insist on improvements.
