Plenty of room for visiting, cooking and watching TV. The kitchen was well supplied. We went outside for part of our meal; I had to clean off the table and sweep the patio area. The outside lights never came on. The other problem was parking. The very narrow drive with the bushes was difficul to navigate. Instructions for the AC would have been appreciated also. ##### Kitty H.
