I’ll start with the Pro’s.
The street where the VRBO is located is so adorable. Very quiet & safe. Right around the corner from the river with many restaurants within walking distance. We had a rental car so we drove to the Tarrytown station & took the Metro North right into NYC. Train was about 45 minutes & you’re right in the heart of the city. The drive to Tarrytown was about 15 minutes. Not bad at all! It’s basically a 2 bedroom, one room with a Queen & the other room has a futon. The back patio area was also private & super cool!
The minuses were minor, but I feel like they need to be listed.
You need to know that parking is plentiful, but you do have to “call-in” your car to the town hotline every single night. If you don’t you get a ticket. There was one night we got in late & I nearly forgot. Thankfully I remembered at the last minute.
The toilet seat was broken when you went to sit down. There was no basic VRBO amenities like a microwave, TV, iron or ironing board. To add those things would instantly enhance the appeal of this property. The stove also was not working during our stay. We learned that the hard way when we brought a bunch of food but had no way to warm it up. Both called & texted the owner & did not hear back for 3 hours. I know people have other things going on, but typically in other VRBO’s I’ve stayed in the owners were immediately responsive to any & all issues we had.
Like I said, small things, but important things in order to elevate this to the same kind of things I would expect at a VRBO property. Adding those would take this from 3 stars in my opinion to 5.
