The photos are photoshopped to make this place look nicer than it is. This is a double wide turned "duplex". I am not sure how this is legal at all whatsoever. This is a single residence with the owners living in the same house. This is listed as a house but it is nothing of the sort. You are renting rooms outs of someone else's home while they stay at the same house. Now that I got that out of the way, the flooring is unsafe when walking all throughout the rooms. My husband and 14 year old son tripped carrying the bags in the rooms. I tripped and skinned my leg. All because the flooring is unsafe. The "tranquil porch sitting to get away..." Is not tranquil. You are looking at a fence with a bunch of tarps on it not far from the porch. The neighborhood is unsafe and unkept. Google Earth this address and you'll see what I'm talking about. While looking out of one of the room windows someone was parked out back in a camper and they were looking in the room windows. This was the last straw. We packed our things up and left within 10 min of being there. We were supposed to stay Friday - Sunday. We had to go get a hotel. I'm hoping VRBO can refund our money. ##### Ashley H.
