Overall unit in need of repair. Dirty carpet, window facing east moved away from framework and has no screen ( safety issue around children ), screen door has ripped screen and broken handle due to wrong handle on glass sliding door, kitchen mixer tap hard to turn and loose, cooktop control knob seizes when hot, no bath plug, handheld shower in ensuite pooring out water, furniture dated, missing vertical blinds throughout, cooking pots and pan dirty, dishwasher not cleaning correctly. Unit #38.

We appreciate you bringing these specific issues to our attention. Please accept our apologies for the condition of the unit during your stay. We are currently addressing the maintenance and safety repairs you mentioned to ensure the unit is back to top standard. We value your feedback as it helps us improve.
