Response from the manager Hi Paul, you arrived on 5/3. On 5/5 you reported the breaker kept tripping for the hot tub which was fixed that day. You reported the hot water issue on 5/6 but because you emailed an individual rather than our emergency line it was not seen until the following morning and you had already checked out by the time we were there to resolve it. I'm not understanding how you came to the conclusion that we're unresponsive (unless you're talking about the email you sent that we didn't see until the next day). We responded quickly and had the issued cared for the day we were made aware.

Response from the manager Thank you for your review of One Grand Whim. This property just went through a series of updates to the decks, including all new deck railing and deck furniture, all new living room furniture, new dinning room chairs, and all new flooring on the top floor. All of this was done this Winter for this Summer. We believe the owner will continue to update the place each year. The property is/was well cleaned, but I believe the need for some updating on the mid-floor is showing its age. The photos online were taken this Spring so they do give an accurate depiction of the current condition of the property. I hope you're coming back next year so you can see more changes have been made.
