I put it back in. The living room was not as advertised, no table, no rug. In the morning, you could feel col air rising from the floor above your ankles. The place is nice but, could really use some work. Unpainted drywall spots where tissue holder used to be, unmatched decking boards and the showers! Either scalding hot or freezing cold! No in between ##### Frank T.
