Very nice kitchen area and island, really nice 6 burner stove. Dishes nice overall, could use a few more plastic bowls and plastic glasses. Dishwasher was not "attached" but worked, although water did not drain and stayed in the bottom a few times, and when you pulled the racks out the dishwasher fell forward - awkward. Bedrooms were nice, and nice to have several box fans available. The outside of the house - yard needs lots of attention and entry area needs attention as well - and NO outside lights or at least none worked so very dark when coming back home at night. Most of the closets didn't have any hanging rods or shelves for our personal clothes/items.
