Comfortable 3 Bedroom Home with all the facilities to accommodate 6 people.
Fairly basic house in suburban street. Mostly ok although internet drops out quite often. Comfortable but could have been a bit cleaner. Big problem with water pipes, very very loud noise when using , drowns out tv and anyone talking, not good.
