This is my first experience using VRBO and I'm afraid its set some very high standards! for future hosts, if I ever need to stay somewhere other than LA.
I travel often for work and have always stayed in hotels that have the typical hotel items like shower products, hair dryer, iron etc. but this home was above and beyond and really had a home feel to it.
This trip, I travelled as an athlete from Australia for a major tournament. I specifically needed a kitchen, laundry, and ideally a bath tub for ice baths.. WOW did I get more than what I could have hoped and it made my stay and time preparing for the tournament so much easier!
'Check-in' process was so simple! I received a message in the VRBO app and via email prior to arrival, regarding the check in process plus everything else I needed to know about my stay. The info was thorough, laid out very clearly and I didn't have a single question from then on.
The house was very clean, tidy and spacious and yet it had everything you could think of from blankets to snacks, from beach items to cotton buds...
At any point, if I thought of something I wish I brought, it was already there in the house ready to use! This really made a huge difference for my stay.
I was using Lyft/Uber to get around and it was so simple to head over to the grocery store (Vons) for food and anything I needed, but having a few of those small things like some snacks, toiletries, and even spare change for the laundry made life so much easier!
Amazing!
