We stayed at this vacation rental for a few days in late December 2016.

The location info provided on vrbo site is accurate.

It's in a 1970s middle class neighbourhood, houses are

generally well-maintained.

This particular property was renovated somewhat recently. The kitchen

and living room areas are pretty up-to-date and cozy.

The kitchen is pretty basic in terms of utensils available, it misses basics

like a beer bottle opener and a corkscrew. Don't expect a gourmet kitchen.

The cable tv is pretty basic, only a few channels were available.

The master bathroom is surprisingly small, no bathtub, just shower,

it's closer in size to a half bathroom.

We arrived right after a snowstorm, the driveway was cleared of snow

but the access from the street to the driveway was not adequately cleared,

the clearance was not wide enough to drive a car through it, so I had to

shovel snow to widen it.

The owner was late in providing both property access info and refund my deposit

after my stay, in both cases I had to prompt him to take appropriate action.

About 3-4 weeks prior to my arrival date I was asked to pay the balance of the

amount due for my stay, I indicated that I was ready to pay but I also mentioned

that I'll need to leave two days early and asked the owner to adjust the

remaining balance accordingly. They asked me to pay the full balance and

indicated they were open to work something out with me in case we leave early.

I did pay the full balance, left two days early, asked them to consider

reimbursing me for the two days, but they ignored my request.

I also offered to share my experience with them privately but they

did not seem interested.

I'd suggest you make sure your schedule is firm before

finalizing the reservation.
