Our villa was very clean and spacious for 5 adults. The only issue we encountered was the inability to access internet - on the TVs or our phones until the final morning of our stay. We called upon arrival about a problem with wi-fi and found we were given the incorrect password, so that was a quick fix. Internet access remained off until just hours before check-out time. This issue did not ruin our vacation, although it was an adjustment for our teenage grandchildren! :) We were on the move a great deal and spent time in the evenings playing games from pre-internet times! We wouldn't hesitate to rent this vrbo again!
