Courtyard paving was very slippy when wet. Ensuite plumbing was very noisy, the neighbours complained. Garden was overgrown and very weedy. Garden furniture was covered in green algae. No socket in bedroom for hairdryer. Could do with a clock in the bedroom. Paint peeling on walls and the window frames were rotting. Windows were dirty.
