Property so good, enjoyed the views from back and front. Loved the pool facility, game area.One thing need improvement is basement rooms, have no proper blinds or curtains.Also main floor windows and doors need cleaning, saw lots of webs, seemed like we were first tenants of the season.Overall had great time.
