Fraud
Julia Seniw has several "vacation rentals" in Colorado which are either HUD homes or foreclosures bought in high tourism areas with the specific intent to defraud consumers by using deceptive photos and descriptions. Virtually ALL of her properties are substandard and misrepresented with blantant lies, carefully staged photos & fabricated "reviews". The material facts about her Idaho Springs rental - "MT EVANS CABIN IN HISTORIC TOWN" are extremely false and misleading. This is a less than modest tiny house purchased in a foreclosure for less than $80K, a fixer upper or starter home that was never really fixed up. It overlooks Interstate 70 and shares a very small lot with an older run down trailer home who's many residents/visitors (3-5 cars at any time) have to park and pass within inches of your windows in order to gain access their trailer. The photos are very carefully shot to make sure the large overgrown bush on the right hides this dirty little secret. The deck outside the rental is only about 10 feet away from the trailer porch. There is ZERO privacy. There are boards falling off the porch, overgrown weeds, broken or missing screens & debris everywhere. There is an active working mine less than one block from the house, so it is not exactly a "quiet street" either. The house sits right on this street & the street is literallyyour front yard. The block this house occupies is shared with the mine, other trailer homes, RVs and broken down cars and plus it overlooks the wonderful sights and sounds of I-70! A real dream vacation! But since it's in a town on the way to the mountains, and you do have to take the interstate exit for Mt. Evans (going in the opposite direction & over 35 miles away from it's namesake - but hey there IS a SIGN for Mt. Evans 6 blocks away -doesn't that count?), why not call it a "MT EVANS CABIN" ??? Sounds way better than the more accurate "INTERSTATE 70 HOVEL". And since Idaho Springs is a National Historic Town, why not capitilize on that as well? Julia Seniw states: "The cabin is within a walking distance to historic town (her bad grammer along with the ALL CAPS give her away every time.) This house is located at 345 8th Ave. more than 13 blocks, NOT 5 blocks as claimed, from the historic district of Idaho Springs. But Julia Seniw is just hoping no one will notice any of this as they pull up to this outrageously priced piece of crap ($375 for 2 nights with tax and "cleaning" fee - only YOU are the one expected to do the cleaning! And don't forget to bring your own toilet paper ) and that's before she keeps your $200 security deposit. Julia Seniw even had her "PINE LAKE/PIKES PEAK RETREAT" pulled from VRBO because of the complaint history. Exactly what does it take to be kicked of VRBO??? But Julia Seniw continues to list that and all her other substandard properties on virtually every other rental by owner site. The BBB has an extensive file on Julia Seniw, in fact Julia Seniw has earned an "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau. The reasons are for deceptive advertising, billing issues, and witholding security deposits without cause. Everything stated in this post is a matter of public record. Google in the name Julia Seniw and you will find pages upon pages of complaints of fraud lodged against this unscrupulous owner. The bottom line is to avoid any "vacation rental" by the scam artist Julia Seniw. Her entire MO is to rip you off and profit at your expense.
