The freezer was too tiny to store ice cream! Otherwise the kitchen overall was okay. We liked having the sheets changed daily, & kitchen bin emptied daily. General air-conditioning, ceiling fan & opening windows gave a good choice of air flow options depending on the temperature. Comfortable & clean.
