Downtown hotels were pricey when I came to Indy so I took a chance on this little bungalow. Old houses don't bother me, but this house isn't just old, it's in bad shape. The neighborhood is questionable, but not scary. Mostly older homes, some run-down and some refreshed. The door code I was originally given didn't work, and then the host had to send me a new code. Whatever...it opened. It smells in there. It is musty and DEFINITELY has a hint of "old smoke". It was almost 90 degrees outside, and this home had 2 CHEAP, tiny window AC units, which weren't adequate. Running them caused tons of water to drip down the wall from condensation. I put a pot under 1 window and my cooler under the other. I had to empty them daily because they literally filled up. The wood trim in the bedroom and bathroom is so rotten it's literally crumbling. The shower window frame is rotten and moldy and has a clear window to outside with no curtain. There are ants in the kitchen and the cabinet below the sink is warped and rotten. And the front door (a French door) is MISSING A WINDOW PANE! There is just a hole there that any animal can crawl through! When I messaged the host she already knew about it and said they hadn't had a chance to replace it from when a past guest broke it. Who rents out a house with a hole in the front door? That's a huge safety issue! I use VRBO frequently and have never had an experience like this.
