Cons:- [ ] Roaches! The owner acknowledged knowing about this days prior to tenant check in.- [ ] Expired food in kitchen (months)- [ ] Toilet doesnt stop running after flush- [ ] Bathroom sink doesn't drain- [ ] house is on very busy street- [ ] Uncomfortable low beds, sofa. Bad pillows- [ ] Another house in back yard with renters- shared yard and driveway- [ ] On street parking only. Driveway is too small for modern cars- [ ] Dirty overall (not cluttered, just dirty places like where tub meets floor)- old spider webs - [ ] Broken blinds on each window - [ ] No dresser in 2nd or 3rd bedrooms, minimal hangers throughout house. Means clothes are on floor with roaches- [ ] One closet in primary full of junk and unusable for renters- [ ] Bed sheets so old the elastic is worn, meaning every morning the fitted sheet is off the mattress. No sheets for the twin pull outs. - [ ] Light bulbs missing in lights in primary bed, full bath vanity, kitchen- [ ] Soaps/shampoos in bathroom empty- [ ] No laundry detergent at all- [ ] Main reason for VRBO instead of hotel was to cook and have a living room to relax. Could not do either due to roaches in kitchen and uncomfortable sofas in living room. A lot of extra money spent due to eating out every single meal. (No refund or compensation offered by VRBO but owner did give 300 back of a 2150 rental once pressed)- [x] Shower is challenging to use- needs new nozzlesPros:- [ ] is as pictured and in cute area, nice decor
