Not what it seems

The best part of this place were the pictures. They do not convey what it was. They charged us 890 for the night and we were utterly shocked at the place. It was criminal. The place was outdated. The walls were made of plywood. We could hear everything from the people in the next room. Even the scenic pictures were inaccurate. The place was so small that we had a hard time finding a place to put our luggage. I would highly discourage anyone from booking this place. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this was by far the worst we have experienced. They couldn’t even put the toilet paper on a roll holder. The bathtub was a slipping hazard.
