- Appeared somewhat worn outside but cute inside, reasonable.
- Communication with owner was hit and miss, i.e., it's available, inquire, it's not available; access info will be posted at 8AM day of checkin, posted at 9:30 AM, irritating.
- Owner requiring renter to either purchase a damage insurance policy or put down a large damage retainer,
returnable at their discretion was pretty irritating!
- Late afternoon drive into the neighborhood was eye opening, What did we do, rough, should we find a hotel for the evening? decided nah...good money after bad, so we stayed.
- No instructions for visitors on how to operate the TV and
streaming options, never could find local stations or current network programming, really irritating. Yet, they had crudely done evacuation route maps everywhere.
- Heavy plastic wrap on the mattresses was a nice touch.
- Loud vehicles, with even louder sound systems (subwoofers) constantly prowling neighborhood most of the night.
- Fire works intermingled with what we're pretty sure was gunfire being set off in the neighborhood from shortly after dark until just after 5:30AM! They did take a break for an hour or so around 3AM, must have gotten cold.
- After the fun had been going on for a bit, did some more
thorough checking and determined that the neighborhood is one of Waco's highest crime areas. Might not have minded in my 20's or 30's but at 70...NO!
- After getting maybe 2 hours of fit-full sleep each, we got up, brushed our teeth, made some coffee and left, relieved nothing bad had happened. Didn't even shower!
- High point of the stay was driving away. NEVER to return.
