The host was very communicative and the home is in a great central location, if a bit “up and coming”. Tobin Hill is a charming location, and an easy walk to the River Walk. Lots of charming little restaurants and bars nearby.
The house itself is a recent flip and it’s pretty obvious the moment you drive up. The yard still matches the neighborhood if you check Google Streetview. The house in the most recent 2021 street view photos is ready to collapse and the owner appears to have done the bare minimum to prevent that before listing on VRBO. It looks gorgeous in the photos and real life matches but it’s pretty surface level beauty. It was perfectly adequate for the 6 of us for 2 nights, however the floors squeak loudly and some of the floor boards are ready to collapse. In the 3rd bedroom we were afraid that we were going to fall through the floor, so found a safe path to walk around it. They really need to address this flooring issue since it’s through the house and is a safety hazard. Do not jump. The mattresses were very lumpy; in the master bedroom it feels like the springs have completely collapsed, in the 3rd bedroom the frame is completely missing some slats to the mattress sags severely.
Otherwise, large bedrooms, beautiful kitchen, the nightstands have plenty of outlets, the showers had great water pressure and enough heat for all 6 of us to shower in the morning. TVs in every room. And the host left large mugs in the freezer.
