The property was very clean and tidy.

The property was very clean and tidy.It had a good selection of cookware, plates etc.It was good to find cutting knives that were actually sharp !The electronic lock on the front door took a bit of getting use to, as did the TV. But both worked fine, once you had used them a few times.
