All we needed for an overnight stay, position is excellent, would happily stay again. A couple of things that didn't bother me but might others, defrosting the fridge is easy, lets the place down being frosted up quite so much. With no soap dish in the shower make sure used soap is not left on top of the shower wall. maybe a bit picky, but it's a great place and little things can be important
