The major concern our family had with this property was the location. While nearby (a few blocks) the local area improved measurably, the property itself was in a run down and, I dare say, sketchy neighborhood. Upon arrival, we realized the home had been misrepresented in the VRBO listing. The front porch was dirty and covered with cobwebs. The interior of the home was satisfactory, although we would not describe it as anything more than a roof over our head and running water... the furnishings were what one might imagine as college dorm quality and appearance. It was clean on the surface, but the appliances and conveniences were, again, worn and required cleaning before use. The proprietor was friendly and responsive, although we didn't ask anything more than "is it safe around here"? Of course the answer was "yes, it hasn't been a problem." Anyway, I'll close this review with there is no butterfly garden, it's a main pass thru thoroughfare that had noise and sirens nightly and I would kindly steer families with young children to a different option. This was my first VRBO experience... and likely my last.
