Basic but nice

Nice property. Garden is a little unkempt, and the shower is basic. We had problems with a window, and had no response from the property manager, but hopefully this has now been sorted. I also would have liked more information about the bins, i.e. which was the recycling bin, what could go in it and when it gets collected. But all minor points
