    My sister D and I wanted to surprise my dad with a little birthday trip to ************ in ************, since our family has been through a lot these past few years. D has been in a lot of body pain and uses Canadian crutches, my dad recovered from having a stroke and my mom recently had a **********************. All I wanted to do was take them on a small trip so everyone could relax and enjoy the summer due to all of there medical conditions and unfortunately, the trip turned into a nightmare.We had someone book the trip for us while we got everything ready and the first thing that I was told about the trip is that there was no refund after it was booked due to short period of time the trip was made. Secondly, I got a message saying we had to pay extra for a parking space located in the garage in front of the condo. Thirdly, I **********, drove several hours to reach the condo. After 8-9hrs of driving, the directions led us to a dark alley way. I was approached by a call girl at 11:30pm which scared my family so I called the hostess and she directed us to the back entrance of the condo building. The condo pictures showed a couple of steps but when I opened the front entrance to the condo door, there were at least a dozen steps to reach the four units . There was no elevator or lift to assist my family to get to the 3th floor. I contacted the host of condo and Vrbo and no one was helpful with alternate options to find another room or hotel nearby. We became stranded and my little sister reacted in a very disrespectful way because she was tired, in pain and the host and vrbo refused to give us a refund for not stay in the most dangerous place. We contacted the hostess and **** several times and the host indicated if nothing was damaged they would refund us.**** has recently changed their policy and will not refund us anything.Please help us with resolving this current situation.
