Francisco D.

- there is a lot of space.- knives are in poor condition- few more forks are needed- one of the pot's handle is broken- a cookie sheet would have come in handy- the heater/ac unit in the master only blows cool air. (also turns on randomly in the early morning.)- the tv is a bit clunky only amazon prime app works all others fail.- the furniture is a bit old and worn.- it is dim in the dining at night. i would replace the one white bulb with 2 warm bulb lights.- refrigerator wobbles and the light is broken.- toilet wobbles
