DO NOT STAY - BEDBUGS IN THE APARTMENT. We booked for 4 nights and only stayed for 2 because there were bedbugs in the bed and we were bitten during our stay. Beware - since this is a third party property VRBO will not give you a refund. When asked about the bedbug traps they said they have never had issues, but then changed the story to say bedbugs are expected. We only saw dead ones but had bites after the 2 day stay! This was over a month ago and have not had any resolution - host will just ghost you.DO NOT STAY HERE!!
