3 Mi to Dtwn Mesa: Home w/ Fenced Backyard!

Here is a polished, respectful, firm, and honest review you can post on Booking.com/Evolve. I included a quote that fits the tone you described: --- **⭐️⭐️ (2/5) — Respectfully Honest but Deeply Disappointed** We travel often for soccer events—4 to 5 times a year for the past six years—so we’ve stayed in 20–30 short-term rentals. Unfortunately, this property was by far the most frustrating and least clean experience we’ve ever had. We were approved for an early 1:00pm arrival, but when we walked in, the home was nowhere near ready. There were dirty dishes, trash left out, a leaf blower sitting just inside the front door, facial shavings in the bathroom sink, a smashed dead cockroach in the shower, and the back door left open. These were just a few of the issues we found. Even after reporting everything immediately, it took until after 5:00pm (well past the 4:00pm check-in time) for the property to be fully cleaned so we could settle in. While the cleaning crew did their best once dispatched, the situation should never have reached that point—especially when our early check-in was approved. What made the experience even more disappointing was the lack of accountability from both Booking.com/Evolve and the property management. The responses we received on day one felt unprofessional and dismissive, suggesting that we either shouldn’t have arrived early or should have checked in and then left again for another 3–4 hours. That is neither reasonable nor respectful of guests who are following instructions and planning around approved check-in arrangements. I try to stay humble and understanding—mistakes happen. But ownership, accountability, and honest communication matter. As the quote goes: **“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis** Unfortunately, integrity seemed to be the missing piece in how this situation was handled.
