Overall, this stay deserves 3 stars. I stayed here with my girlfriend and her sister for 3 nights. Originally requested to stay for 2 nights, then asked the host to extend it by a day, but my message wasn’t responded to. Got Vrbo customer service to assist. Upon arrival on Thursday night there were cars blasting music as they drove by. The host sent me a message regarding entry access. We were looking for the wifi information as we had virtual work meetings that Friday morning. Couldn’t find anything and had to resort to calling Vrbo customer service to assist early AM. I’ve never stayed at a Vrbo residence without a note of some sort with wifi information readily available for guests upon arrival. There was also a faint smell of urine upon entering, presumably from pets, so we had to air it out by opening the windows. Beds were comfy. We went grocery shopping prior to our arrival, so it came to a surprise to us that the oven didn’t work and therefore our frozen pizza had to be thrown away. During our meetings we were able to connect to the wifi, however there were few outlets throughout the residence. I could only find one outlet per bedroom; the dining room had just a couple outlets. Bathrooms/shower were clean for the most part.

The Host was quick to respond and very accommodating to my groups needs. The place itself was clean and well furnished. That being said the neighborhood is a little far from any grocery or restaurant, but nothing a Lime Scooter can’t fix. A great place to stay in Grand Rapids.

With the rental being a brief 10 minute drive from downtown Grand Rapids, I was able to easily access any parts of town while visiting.

The listing does not give any info on the parking (only parking was on the street) and did not mention at all the fact the this is an upstairs unit. When we arrived there were tons of flies everywhere. Place was clean otherwise but only two beds and a couch not three beds and only one bed had a blanket on it, had to find another blanket

The apartment was perfect for us for the one night. It would be nice if there was a welcome binder - local places to eat/delivery; activities; channel listing; as well as what was expected of us for leaving. We had no idea of if we should strip the beds, where we should put the used towels or any trash. It would also be good to know what of the property we could use - chairs on the front porch? Can we sit out on the balcony etc. Overall, I would probably stay again.

It seems as the owners are new to VRBO. The place was decorated nicely, but the kitchen was not clean, the oven did not work and the kitchen was not well stocked. We found the place late in our search for somewhere to stay for the marathon. It was fine for one night.
