NO A/C, No reimbursement yet.
We arrive late in evening, and it was 84 degrees in the house. The A/C T-stat showed A/C running. I contacted the property management, and they were going to send a tech out in the AM. That didn't happen, so, we booked a hotel room for the second night. Management contacted me the next day to say that we couldn't stay there for the last three nights. I am still waiting for reimbursement. Communication has been good.
