Micro-Mis-Management Malarkey

I was repeatedly asked (14 x's) what the purpose of my stay was. Could be for business, could be vacation, could be a death in the family, is it really anyones business but mine? It felt invasive.

Great weekend!

Super clean place in a great neighborhood, close enough to the mall to see the sights then come back for great dinner near the house.

Buyer Beware

I booked and paid for the property in full in June, 2023 for our August 2023 stay. However, a sizeable amount suddenly came off of my bank card 1-2 weeks prior to our trip with no indication that more money would be due. I was told this was a security deposit. When we arrived the day of our stay, the unit was filthy with trash, dirty linens, some of the linens were wet and a very unpleasant smell lingered through out the unit. Although, they did get housekeeping out to the unit approximately 30 minutes later. after my call, they apologized and said they would reimburse the cleaning fee.
