A couple of misleading facts about this VRBO.I was a little disappointed that there were people living on the second floor above my room. I heard feet walking across the floor above me into late hours at night.Also the picture was a little misleading. It showed covered parking. But when I got there, 2 vehicles were parked under the canopy. I had to park away from my room. The second, third and fourth night, there was one truck backed in under the carport taking up two spots and their second vehicle was parked where I was parking the night before. I would not stay here again knowing there are noisy people living above my room.
