No bedside table. Needs clothes drying racks (2) as there isnât a dryer. We had to dry clothes all over the courtyard Needs a bath mat for the floor Staying two weeks and without a dryer we would need a second set of bed sheets The master bedroom has skylights that you canât block out. The room is so bright early in the morning The light outside the bedroom goes on when someone uses the bathroom and since the bedroom door isnât solid but has a window the light shines in. Not good in the middle of the night. Could use some place to put clothes away More than one dish towel The patio needs to be weeded and the cushions outside were really dirty and unusable Appreciate the welcoming tray The stay was generally good. Just could use some improvements

Parking was a bit of a pain, paying daily but not that expensive. Not sure if that's on the listing apart from that it's perfectly central to the lakes. Happy dazes.
