VRBO COMPLAINT at Shoreline West, Mountain View, California Property ID: 9650747 1) Host complaint: Made reservation 6 weeks in advance, on April 7, 2022, and deposit was made upon confirmation. One week prior to date of travel (on Memorial Day weekend) received email confirmation on May 20, 2022 (and was reflected on bank info) that remaining balance was paid in full. The following day on May 21, 2022 the HOST, for no reason (which was confirmed by VRBO 'it doesn't say why") and we had to find other arrangements. I sent 3 emails via VRBO to say cancellation was in error and how to complete any missing/eronious info, but he NEVER replied! 2) As a "Professional Host," as listed on the site, this is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE behavior! 3) VRBO Complaint: VRBO customer service people (2) were completely useless. They could not tell me why, they refused to contact Host to ask why and/or resolve issue, they could not/refused to make another reservation at that complex (said to "make another reservation online" and when I tried the computer would not allow it and they still didn't help), & finally. they NEVER could make another reservation for a different place despite being told "we put you on the escalation list" for someone to call to make another reservation. 4) Called VRBO to see how to make complaint about Host activities and their reply was "you cannot make a Review if you do not stay there." read more

Free weekly local Mountain View community newspaper that arrives in my mailbox every Friday and is also available all over the city, just look for the Voice newspaper bins posted through out the city. I love this newspaper as it has a variety of information about Mountain View from local headline news, information about local schools and city government, nice entertainment section and some pretty good coupons. I especially appreciate the 2 for 1 coupon for Happi House. There is also a section that provides information regarding criminal activity in Mt. View, which I find very informative and helps me beware of dangers of what's going on in surrounding neighborhoods. read more

They cover the local news I care about. Good articles about MV housing, events, business and restaurants. When it's local election time the Voice is my go-to site for information. You get 10 free articles per month and I run into that limit frequently. Beyond that you have to subscribe and $10 a month feels a little steep, but I guess you're supporting local journalism which is worthwhile. read more

Don't waste your time here. The articles are extremely slanted, and opposition is blocked by the Editor. They post on political subjects - and don't bother to disclose that past employees are the ones pushing a political viewpoint, bill, or project. The entire little local rag is very unprofessional and biased. I don't mind bias, but when they prohibit and block any opposition to their viewpoint, they lose the right to be called a "newspaper". They are no more than a pusher of their own private agenda. They call themselves the Mountain View Voice, but they are based in Palo Alto and have very little interest in what the residents of Mountain View want. Like another poster said here - they are generally just a meaningless "paper" led by biased and unprofessional employees. read more

What do you expect, it's a local newspaper? Meaningless articles about the city council and school district, as well as local happenings in Mountain View. What bothers me most is the Dining Out portion of the Weekend section, because the eateries reviewed are not even in MV, mostly in other towns like Palo Alto and Redwood City. Come on, both have their own newspapers with their own damn restaurants. Oh well, at least there is a free newspaper at all. read more
