"Buyer Beware- This host forced me to spend the night in a 100 degree cabin with no AC and although it wasn't listed as an amenity the host never replied to the question of "Is there AC?" Upon arrival and discovering the lack of any cooling capacity on the hottest day of the year the host denied the refund request. Combine this with the complete lack of WIFI (Advertised amenity) and you have the longest inferno of a night imaginable. Do not rent this place in the summer and be sure to consider...
