    “Property has poor decoration and is not very clean.”

    had to empty the cleaner to use it.The stair door is very hard to open especially for arthritic elderly people, microwave needs replacing door does not shut properly. NO USB socket in the property, shower feeble power, no handles on bath, Coffee pod machine a good extra but had to use a plastic beaker to place underneath to use it!
