Slipped on mats . No microwave in kitchen. Lounge chairs very low and torn. Bathroom not to code. Shower doors didn’t meet and came off railing. Both shower heads faulty. One tapped together and other sprayed from wall. Couldn’t close shower doors. Cracked power points in bathroom and kitchen. Pillows very low . Many mat corners to trip on. Overall felt it was overpriced.condsiderimg the faults we found . Location was okay. ##### Robyn D.
