"Terrible experience. The property had a strong, unpleasant odor, and the room was so bad that we couldn't stay there. The host initially promised to address the issue but never followed through. As a result, we had to book another place ourselves. Neither VRBO nor the host refunded our payment or assisted us in finding alternative accommodations. "
