I've stayed in several Vrbos with compost toilets and this was the worst one I've ever stayed at. You could smell it as soon as you open the bus. You smelled it all night long while trying to sleep, lid was down, and the door was closed, even sprayed some spray down the toilet to help the smell. The bed was hard as a rock, wish it would have been more comfortable. It was some place unique I wanted to experience, but it is what it is.
The bus was cool, and it was fun to stay in. However, we had issues with the toilet immediately upon arrival and for the first two days we were there. They did eventually fix it, but it was very inconvenient. Also, if you plan on visiting during Summer, you should be prepared for the bus to be warm during the day - even with the A/C and fans on.
Other than that, it was fun, and we might stay again if we’re in Visalia in the future.
Our nephew is obsessed with school busses. This stay and trip made his day. Everything was great. Very beautiful on the inside. Plenty of room, keeping the driving seat and steering wheel made it even better. The outside are was beautiful, and the neighborhood cat just made the stay that much better. I highly recommend staying here!
