9.6/10 Exceptional! (18 reviews)
"Just a couple of things were not as expected. The dryer had no heat, so drying clothes after a wash took hours, if then. There are really 1 1/2 baths as only the upstairs bath has a tub / shower. It is tricky to use as the roof line constrains standing under the shower head."
