Summary: The interior of the home served our purposes, was well located, and comfortable. We appreciated the dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer. While there was no air conditioning, the breeze through the home kept the temperature reasonable (although there are no window screens). When we arrived at our check in time, we found ALL towels hanging in the three bathrooms to be literally SOAKING WET (not just damp). Since we weren't certain of their status, we spent our first evening at the home rewashing and thoroughly drying them. We only received door code information for the back door and the parking in the back alley was tight. As suggested, we parked one car on the street, but had to go around the back to get inside the home. The front steps are steep and in need of repair. Further, the steps were partially obscured by the untrimmed front planting and weeds. The grass in the small backyard was long and brown with piles of dog poop in places. The management company chose to set up the patio furniture and BBQ the evening of our last day there and we had to hunt down the trash cans and wheel them back down the alley so we had a place to dispose of our trash. So, while the interior of the home was fairly well maintained, the exterior was not. Further, the VACASA management company provides a very impersonal experience. I believe the are located well outside the west coast area as I received a text at 4:30am regarding a maintenance person coming onto the property.
