Great location but not up to snuff
Rotten front door would not lock.
Smelled like mold, air filter in ceiling was black.
Weak or no signal for pixelating television.
BW rental help says the owner knows all these things.
I should be entitled to a partial refund.
Vrbo should make owner solve these issues

Reviewer Comments:
The second story rental only had one entrance, a long enclosed stairwell, there was no secondary escape exit other then jumping off the roof onto a cement driveway. The television was not operable. There were no directions on how to use the system and when someone from maintainable showed up he had no idea in how to get it to work.
