Appliances were quite new and obviously worked well. Took awhile to figure out European controls on various appliances, even after Sandra showed us how. Sandra provided heater to get us through cooler temperatures. The couple of times we needed her, she was very helpful and prompt. Even gave us sack of oranges and lemons from her own trees. Our arrival was delayed a few hours, but Sandra waited and was still smiling when we arrived. ##### Ken S.
