Wonderful stay! The place is super clean and very well appointed. I would stay here again! There were so many thoughtful touches, and the location was amazing - and there were no issues parking right out front. Great neighborhood and wonderful host. When we travel back, we would pick this place first.

Non existent communication with the Host Marti McCune. Before arrival I texted her for address to this VRBO as I had not received info after booking weeks in advance. She never responded. My husband searched the listing map and found the approximate address and we drove up down streets til we recognized place from photo. There were w handmade political signs on sidewalk in front of house and we hoped unit still rented to us. No one in main house, no signs, markers etc to identify location apartment so we walked thru open side gate to see another open gate to backyard area? and a side door which was agape and found keys on kitchen counter. This was our unit as it matched listing photos.Never heard from or saw anyone entire 4 nights we were there or after until today, 4 days after departure. Bring your own coffee, tea, sugar/cream etc as none provided. Bring your own bottled water too if used and soap, as only one tiny sliver of packaged soap provided.
