This is the first negative VRBO review I’ve written. The positives: The basement apartment was fully furnished and equipped with towels, dishes/cookware, and a convenient washer/dryer. However, everything was a bit worn, the apartment was muggy, noisy (you can hear everything above), and not as conveniently located as I expected. Additionally, the electrical power kept turning off in one of the bedrooms. Check-in was stressful. We arrived via taxi in the late evening and were only told to come through the back. No side entrance. We were not told that we would need to walk, with our heavy luggage, down a long street, around the block, and up through a rat-infested alley, to get to the apartment. Communication with Paul was strained, at best. Although he did offer passage through the main house for Uber rides, I was very uncomfortable with his overall demeanor and did not accept. As a university professor I am accustomed to interacting with a variety of personalities on a daily basis, however, I was taken aback by the lack of hospitality and professionalism I encountered on this trip.
