We booked this property because it was advertised as an “entire home” rental, but upon arrival realized it is actually the basement of a home with the host family living upstairs. While the listing mentions a “guest area,” it was not clear that this was a shared property or that it was a basement unit. Had I known this, I would not have booked here.Another major issue was the plumbing situation. A sign in the bathroom instructed us not to flush toilet paper and to place used paper in the trash can instead. This is not only inconvenient but also unsanitary for guests, especially when combined with the noticeable sewage odor in the basement. In my opinion, if a home cannot handle standard plumbing use, it should not be rented out to guests.We had booked this for our son’s baseball tournament and, because it was the end of a long season of travel, we decided to just push through and stay since we only needed a place to sleep and shower. Still, the experience was disappointing and not what was advertised.Bottom line: This property was misrepresented on VRBO, and between the shared-space reality and the plumbing issues, I would have chosen a hotel instead had I known the truth upfront.
