Cozy Brentwood Studio! |15 Min to 6th, Downtown!

BEWARE!! 20 pictures of proof, this is no exaggeration: Bugs, horrible fly problems, multiple water leaks, non-working dishwasher, shower and faucet heads, and the most disgusting and dirty bathtub and floors I’ve ever seen in my entire rental history. I spent my first day there setting bug and fly traps, buying cleaning products and cleaning, and swatting bugs from my elderly cats food so he could eat. Other than a very responsive property owner, a nice TV and decent bed, my stay was a total disaster. The area was not good and I tried to leave the same night that we checked in due to the horrible conditions. Because I am a trusting and kind person, and took the advice I received from Vrbo, I got stuck there for 4 nights with no where to go and no money to leave. I spent every day on the phone with them several times a day, and then finally gave up and borrowed money to get a hotel. I wasn’t reimbursed for 1/4 of the total cost from the owner, which was over 2,000.00!! I barely slept and was trapped there for 4 nights. I was scheduled to stay for a month. If I was a judge and jury, I would have not only received full reimbursement, but also something extra for the emotional, physical and financial toll this has cost me. I told Vrbo that they shouldn’t allow this place to be advertised without a full inspection, but I see it’s still there. I would not have written this warning and bad review had they been fair and promptly refunded at minimum, 100 percent of my money.

This is NOT in the Brentwood neighborhood as advertised. Poor communication through the VRBO app with the owner caused delays in getting information I was seeking. The area was not a safe place to walk my dogs. I tried to get even a partial refund for a 2 week stay, but the owner did not budge. I never even checked in. This is located in an old apartment complex near Dan’s Hamburgers on N. Lamar.

The inside of the apartment was decorated, and "homey". It had all the appliances/cookware that you would need for a short stay. There is a nice area about a 15-minute walk from the apartment on W 46th St for food, coffee, groceries, and to walk around. Our host was very friendly and always replied very quickly to any questions that we had. The immediate area around the apartment is not the nicest, and you do have to pay to use the washer/dryer in the apartment complex.
