My only criticism would be that it would benefit from a small desk or chest of drawers in the room and a TV guide for those who aren’t tech savvy. I did had trouble getting the shower to work but after exploring found a switch in the main room which was turned off that powered the shower. However that being said we would return and recommend this property."
