The kitchen is a disgrace. We wanted a house with a bath, for we do not have one at home, but the bathroom was (very nicely) redone and had now only a shower. The wifi was terrible, we could hardly keep in touch with our loved ones. There is no place to sit outside, there is no sun around the house and only two small, uncomfortable chairs.
