This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We booked it for 5 days,so that we can do some cooking but there were no basic cooking ingredients like oil or sugar. There were no napkins or tissue box.
This apartment was pretty basic but met our needs just fine. It was a great location near UT, easy parking and very quiet. We did not cook but the kitchen seems to have what you would need if you did. Decor was simple but nice, bed/pillows are very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to have a luggage stand or other table on which to put a suitcase. We would definitely stay here again!The only reason I gave “communication” 4 stars is because none of the links work in the VRBO inbox & you have to copy/paste into the browser. It’s not a huge deal but since the management requests you fill out forms for information, it would be better if the links were live. That’s being said, though, management was very prompt in their communication - not an issue at all.
