First, let me start by saying that I have never left a bad review. I originally booked a vrbo in Fort Worth close to where we would be working. (Dec 11 was the booking date) . At the end of December, I believe on the 30th, I received notification that VRBO should never have allowed me to book this home because it wasn’t available. Ariel said she had another place available but it was in Bedford Tx, which is approximately 20 -25 minute drive, so we agreed to it since we were now in a time crunch to find any thing else. The issues :The place smells like cat. They changed to flooring but did not kilz the sub floor to kill the odor. We sent a message, advised to buy some wall plug ins and they would reimburse. The odor is impossible to get rid of. But we bought more plug ins, candles and spray. Next: bugs.. big bugs. When I contacted host she asked if it was just one? WHAT? no was my answer! The front door had a huge gap in it that even when shut you can see outside. We had extremely cold weather with an ice storm that hit and had to shove wash cloths and towels in the door jam because of the cold air coming in through. Not once was the salt or sand placed on the sidewalk so that we could leave safely. The door has had a lock removed and an electric lock added in a different location so the whole was filled with fiberglass insulation. listing showed washer and dryer, but there is no washer and dryer in the unit. pots, pans, cooking utensils and eating utensils were very minim
