Cute little house right off of Speedway… So the location was great. The kitchen was well stocked as was the bathroom. Communication with the owner was fast and easy. Check-in was also very easy. The beds are super firm and the bed I slept in squeaked quite a bit. Anytime we moved it squeaked. Also, this is an older home so whenever you flush the toilet, the pipes are super loud. If you are a light sleeper, this might be a problem.My daughter also had an allergic reaction… there were sofa covers, so maybe dogs are permitted in the home (which is great for people who need that). She woke up with hives and said that it was better when she switched pillows. So we’re not exactly sure what triggered the reaction. This isn’t a negative comment for the owners… Just to let anyone know that if you do have a hyper sensitive, kiddo, this might be an issue.Overall, it was a great stay!

Unprofessional I will never book with them again and I will tell everyone to never book with them . The host called me 2 hours before check in saying they were thinking about canceling and then the host tells me if he was to get booked after I cancel I would get a refund I spoke with someone in customer care their are no same day bookings so the host lied about that . The host also did not want to cancel because they knew I would get a full refund and they would have to pay a fee for it . The communication was horrible they replied hours later . Accused me of wanting to have a party . I’ve done research on vrbo and what host can and can not due and this was illegal and unprofessional I have spoken to my lawyer and bank about this.
