Re: First time renter - owner not "verified"

It actually works out nicely to rent directly from the owner. I always talk with them over the phone and get a copy of their reservation. They send me a simple lease and I prefer to be listed as their guest. As their guest, I am registered at the front desk at check in, but I save $28.00 a day on parking and the extra tax imposed on the place. Basically, I save about $40-$50 a day! If you check out the owners and see their track record, it’s just better dealing with individual owners.
