Awful amount of pet hair and cat urine in the rugs (our kids have several allergy). There is probably severe mildew in the smaller room as well (again our kids have allergies so we are quite sensitive to it). Broken beds which the host did attend to during the stay (though remained broken). There are fleas in couch from whatever animals have been there before. Simply put the condition of the cottage was pretty dismal upon arrival but I chalked it up to the lack of reviews on VRBO and my lack of better judgement
