This is a beautifully restored house close to Harp Design. The inside is furnished with Harp furniture. Sadly, the house is located in a run down part of down. Across the street is a large house occupied by a loud group of men. The house across the side street has someone dealing drugs (yes, we saw it happening and notified the police!) We wondered about the high security features of the house (automatic fence gate, house alarm, etc) and now understand why.
The owner is new to VRBO and it shows. We didn’t receive information on the location of the house or check in/check out procedures until 2 days before arrival and I had to ask for them. My guess is that the security codes are not being changed after each guest as the house lockbox and gate code are the same.
When we arrived, there was a damp towel hanging in the bathroom and the tub was wet, as if someone had recently showered. No towels were readily evident but we found some in a closet. There were a few other minor things that we didn’t feel needed reporting. We’ve rented many times before so we don’t sweat the small stuff.
We enjoyed our time in Waco and at the end of our visit we followed the check out procedure. Several hours after leaving, I was notified by Will that I was being charged an extra $100 for damages. He claims the cleaning crew found something sticky on the floor and wall in the master bedroom. He also said the crew found pet hair in the bathroom. #1 we only had bottled water in the bedroom. #2. I am highly allergic to pets and so is my sister who stayed with us. We do not even own pets! I asked for proof of damages and was told he had no photos, only the statement of the cleaning crew.
Again, this is a great house, beautifully decorated and well restored. But I would not trust the location if I had children.
