If rating apt alone, it would be 3 or maybe 4 stars. Nice apt, well appointed, good location etc. but (1) overnight parking is not convenient (owner lives on bottom floor needs to get in and out of garage so asked that we not park in the drive except later in the evening and you cannot park on street at night); and 2) back shower almost immediately ran out of hot water mid shower two times we tried to use it (front which we also used twice was fine). I would’ve communicated this to owner but we had such a horrible experience communicating with him, (including a Friday phone call in which he demanded to know who was in the apartment and despite clearly advising before booking who would be in the apartment 4 of us overnight plus my in town brother and nephew for dinner) and then discovered what appeared to us to be to undisclosed interior monitoring devices (video/audio), we collectively determined it was better just to get our stay over with. I have communicated with VRBO who advised me that undisclosed internal monitoring violates their policy. We do not know if we were actually being monitored but in addition to a disturbing phone call from the owner the first night, we heard what sounded like his voice accidentally being projected over an interior (dining room) nest thermostat (that appears to be the camera version) the next night, We thought it was just a thermostat until we heard the voice and looked it up on the Internet) I have provided VRBO pictures and full details of our experience (just briefly summarized here) and asked them to investigate. I would post the pictures here but there doesn’t seem to be a way to. Again we can’t say for sure we were being monitored but the host’s behavior made us uncomfortable. We would definitely not stay again.
