DO NOT STAY HERE!
We took a shower in the basement bathroom and the drain didn't work. Another person showered in the bathroom upstairs and water came up from the basement shower and flooded the basement bathroom with stinky water. We left and booked a hotel. The host hasn't provided a refund. Cracks (with gaps) in the living room window. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Not what we envisioned
The tv and internet did not work. My son and his adult friends were supposed to stay here, but ended up staying one night, and only then because we didn't have room for them at our other VRBO. They cooked, showered, and hung out at our place b/c they just didn't feel comfortable
