"There is a bad spot in the living room floor. It can be a liability. I almost tripped and fell. I was anxious about my mother falling. Otherwise it was quaint and quiet. Highly recommend once the living room floor is fixed. You will need to bring extra supplies like aluminum foil or parchment paper. Also you will need your own laundry detergent."
