I was surprised at the condition of this place.. I knew it would be basic, but I did not expect walls that looked like they hadn't been painted in decades, a bathtub that was patched and mostly yellow rather than white, chipped window sills, and scuffed linoleum that was peeling in places. It was also poorly supplied, e.g., I could not find a veggie peeler or grater. The biz model for VRBO in my experience used to be people renting out their own home or a 2d home. Now there appear to be more and more places where people buy multiple properties, and do a lousy job of fixing them up, or, in this case, don't seem to have fixed them at all. The prices have sky rocketed too.
