This is a second draft of this review because VRBO rejected the first, saying that my draft “needed some work” before it could be posted. As a published author, well…. I'll bite my tongue after VRBO provided the redirection that might be expected of a third grade English teacher to a student whose homework fell short. It is VRBO that falls short in this case.
Our booking at this property was cancelled well in advance of the starting date. The property owner acknowledged as much and responded appropriately, issuing a full refund as per terms of our booking agreement. I have no complaints, except to share that VRBO was clueless about the changes. So here I am, responding to VRBO’s request to review a property that I never laid eyes on. The property appears to be amazing, otherwise I wouldn't have booked it. But I can't give full affirmation of my star reviews of a property that I haven't laid eyes on. In short, ? stars (probably deserving of 5) for the property and 0 (that's ZERO) stars for VRBO for their cluelessness.
If you’re reading this, you are probably familiar with the absurdity of the Yes/No question “have you stopped beating your wife yet?” Yet VRBO now requires 1-5 star ratings about an unseen condo in order for me to post my feedback about them… equally absurd. I’m trying to point out that VRBO and this property’s manager are out of touch. Instead of being acknowledged for having done so, I’m sent to the corner, to don a dunce cap and rewrite a review. I doubt this will get posted, but if you are reading this- I wouldn't hesitate to use VRBO service. Nothing is perfect. As a former Austinite now living elsewhere, I can assure anyone- this property is in a perfect location for indulging in all that Austin has to offer.
