Pros:

I will call customer service, but the fireplace at the unit in Laguna Beach was falling apart. The brick was coming out. There was pieces of the wall on the floor as we entered the unit very unsafe we did stay because we had no other choice, but we’d like at least a partial refund or a credit for another rental.

Pros:

The staff was a major concern. We seemed to be an inconvenience when we accidentally forgot a device after checking out and had to go back and ask someone to open the room for a second.

Then, due to their poor communication, the manager calls me accusing me of staying longer after I had extended one more night/day. It was their absolute lack of communication.

But, also, poor communication when relating this back to me, even though I did everything right when I added an additional night.


Poor customer service
