Based on the photo and description for the above-mentioned rental, I drove 7 hours from Santa Rosa, CA to Jacksonville, Oregon. The photo shows a very bright and sunny space. It was surrounded by trees making the inside very dark (even at 2:00 in the afternoon). The front yard had no landscaping and the siding was in need of a paint job. It was obviously an older building that had been updated on the inside. Rent was $65/night based on a 28 day stay.
Not only did I drive 14 hours (to Jacksonville and back to Santa Rosa), I had to stay in a motel which was expensive but all I could find. With gas and lodging, the turnaround trip cost $175.
Had the rental photo been accurate, I would not have made that trip.
The woman I dealt with was very pleasant but didn't seem to give much thought to the fact that the place was not as advertised. read more
