2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
What was advertised was not true. Advertised 1 bedroom, 1 bath. This place did not have that. To small for two people. Everything in the studio was run off extension cords. No heating except space heater. Had to go biy another heater and another chair so we both could sit. Was in the back of another house. Had to park in vacant dark lot. Advertised washer, dryer and dishwasher had none. I have been with VRBO for years and never complained but this was a horrible experience
