The heater was working well. The appliances provided were a toaster, kettle, microwave, and they also had a dish washer. One small note was that only one thin tea towel was provided which made it hard to wash dishes as it would get wet very quickly. That being my only note shows that this is an amazing place to stay, I would recommend it highly.
