The home is as described and centrally located to wineries, Whitman College, and downtown. Easy entry/exit to home.
A couple of challenges: there is one heating/cooling system, so despite having the thermostat set to 58 (it was 25 degrees outside), the upstairs bedroom guests were sweating and had to run their air conditioners (which just pushed the hot air down further). Notified owner of a leaking Keurig and the heating/cooling issue, but no response. Carpets really need cleaning.
But the biggest issue is that I noticed a few little bites on my arms on the last day of our stay but didn't think much of it. By the next morning, I was covered in welts over both arms, my back, my neck and my forehead. I had alerted owner to this when we left and she responded she would have cleaners be extra diligent and said "sorry that happened." After I got home, I was in distress from scratching and went to my primary care physician who said I had bed bug bites all over me (about 100 bites). I alerted the owner again who responded that the mattress was new and they clean after every guest, so "sorry." VRBO was equally nonresponsive saying I should have let them know when we arrived there was a problem. I'll be honest, I have never even thought about checking beds for bed bugs when I check in. I will now - I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. And I'm out $200 for dr. visit and tub of steroid cream I have had to apply every day for last 7 days. Extremely disappointed in owner & VRBO.
