"I liked that The Zen is a small motel. While there were 4 pillows (and I forgot mine so I was relieved) the pillows were VERY soft and “smooshie.” So 4 pillows actually felt like 1.5 at best. Also, it seemed there was only a sheet that I could pull over me while sleeping. "

"The outside of this property looks like a rundown ramshackle hotel from the 1940s. Rooms have doors with knobs and open with physical keys. However, up entering the room it was quite nice. The room was pretty small but the bed was comfortable, the sheets/blankets were not only clean but smelled nice. The toilet, floor (pergo), shower and sink were all new and nice. There was no AC but between the shade and a 1 foot wide tiny ceiling fan the room stayed cool. And im a hot sleeper. This was much...

"The property could not be opened when I arrived. I was asked to break in using a side entrance. When I entered the property, it was clear that this was far from the "luxury" property that it was described as at the time of the booking. The furniture is old, the bedding damp, and the overall sense is far from luxury. I left after 5 minutes and when I asked for even a partial refund, this was denied. VRBO said they had no responsibility. Never book with VRBO - they won't help you like other...

"Good things: The apartment was great, very clean and stocked with everything you could need. The outdoor space was a lovely bonus, we used it regularly. The area is really nice and quiet as well, set back from the road so you don't have any traffic noise. And it's located really close to some great restaurants and nightlife. Most of the communication with the hosts was excellent and timely. Less-good things: the apartment is set in a funny nook between 2 garages, and the instructions for where...
