We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for a birthday weekend. Upon arrival, the parking space designated for our truck was already occupied by other vehicles. I immediately took photos and notified the homeowner. We were told they would reach out to neighbors to resolve the issue.After leaving for the evening and returning later that night, there were even more vehicles blocking the space. I again sent photos and was told we could park down the street and apologized for the inconvenience.At that point, it became apparent there was an upstairs rental, indicating the property is a duplex—this was not disclosed in the listing. We also observed a travel trailer in the backyard with people living in it, as well as a run-down van parked directly next to the master bedroom with additional occupants. These conditions were unexpected and concerning.The home is located on a very busy street, which combined with the parking issues and undisclosed shared property, significantly impacted our stay. When I raised these concerns and suggested a small gesture—such as a partial refund of the cleaning deposit—I was told to contact VRBO for compensation rather than receiving any resolution from the host.This was an unfortunate experience. A simple acknowledgment and minimal compensation would have gone a long way, but the host’s response was dismissive and unprofessional.
