I liked the spa bath even though it took along time to fill due to water pressure was not great. What I didn't like was the Black mold in bathroom, the carpet having stains and in poor condition, the roof in bedroom peeling and the poor repairs, Also the fact that the hairdryer fell apart went I went to use as it was melted and broken.
