Honestly this is probably my last experience with VRBO for a while. I don't like the fees, the condition of the property was not great, there were pretty major maintenance issues and it wasn't clean. I was looking for a comfortable place for my wife to recover after surgery and it just wasn't a great experience. It was very convenient to the hospital but I think we would have both been more comfortable in a hotel.
