The entire space needs a complete renovation. Old rusty stove was scared to turn it on.All appliances need upgrading. Bathroom had worn out tiles, rust stained toilet and sink. Living area had wires hanging out of wall. Soace is dark and hloomy. Insufficient lighting throughout. Unable to even apply makeup in bathroom. One light bulb out. No CNN, MSNBC, NO cable. Space should be advertised as ONE bedroom and LOFT .Should not be placed on VRBO UNTIL FULL RENO IS DPNE. THEN IT WILL HE A COZY PLACE TO STAY.
