Disliked: Cleanliness
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
