Not exactly as described

Check in and communicate with host is good. All questions are addressed directly. The only parking available for this unit was .21 miles away. The unit was not cleaned very well and we were not provided the key card to access the pool and other amenities for an entire week. I am sure the host attempted to resolve these and other issues, but ran into problems of their own. IWe were very unhappy with our experience, but the host refunded us 30% to compensate for the many issues. They really tried to make it right.

Track meet for USF

The pool was wonderful ! The place has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that was accurate. It’s on the 3rd floor of stairs. The beds have no headboards as pictured. The living room wasn’t even close to the picture. There was only 7 bath towels and 4 washcloths. No kitchen towels.Forgot to mention how bad the rugs were stained.
