Really enjoyed it
Overall was great. Nice bush.
A couple of issues:
- the hot tube was cold on the 2nd day, after some use. Perhaps the water from us poored out and is our fault. Would be good to know how to refile it
- didn't manage to get the dishwasher working.
Having said all this, loved the place and it was perfect. Very clean and with nice furntiure etc.
