Dec 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### It was good except few things Location was good and good organise . Me and family enjoined it very well . It was all good expect few things that we can improve In start I was not able to find location in google map , so I requested customer care to arrange exact location for property, but they shared location of exact opposite property coordinates , I hope that is just a mistake . I would suggest , please check bathroom appliances before handover to clients , we noticed one of bathroom shower and its attachments were not working . Last thing . Heating methods were really old style and difficult to manage , we find it difficult to bring down temperature once we increase it . We try it many times , but it was really difficult to manage it Above are some minor points that could improve things a bit . Overall it was pleasant experience ##### sukrant s.
