An expensive stay.

This is a dangerous property if you have seniors or young children. There are 6 sets of stairs and the floor covering looks the same up and down the stairs. The stair railing is not safe. It is either made of plastic or glass. It is really too wide to fit one's hand around. The showers are not safe. Water pools and there are no safety bars in the shower. Water gets everywhere on the floor. One of our seniors fell going down the stairs because of the flooring. The senior suffered a concussion and needed to go to ER.The cost was over 20,000 dollars. Please think twice before you rent. Owners and VRBO won't even compensate part of the cost.
