2/10 Terrible

I was sent to the wrong house for my rental. The address the renter provided was 170 Water st. The main house I went to had the lockbox with correct code, so clearly that was where I was supposed to stay. It didn't remotely match the pictures or the description. I felt like something was off, but I assumed it was just misleading pictures. Nope, I got home and looked it up. The web description was a completely different house. It gets worse. I looked in the bedroom closet and there was a blue foam mattress with brown stains on it. When I stripped the linens off the bed there was mold (I hope it was mold) on the mattress. The street is lined with beat up trailers displaying 2nd amendment warning signs and stray dogs. There's no sidewalk to downtown so you have to dodge the cars flying down the street in the dark. It's the stuff of rental nightmares. I usually use other online services, but I went with VRBO because the last minute dates and cost worked out. I'll never get my money back. The best I can hope for is that I don't get sick from the nasty house I stayed in. Just awful. VRBO, never again.
