Its ok. Its been modeled yet the floor is very noticeably & completely uneven through out the entire place. Theres no shower curtain, just a single pane of glass covering the front half of the tub. Water gets all over the floor. You have to be fully in the shower to turn it on. No privacy as the blinds are unadjustable. The bedroom has adjustable blinds but dont block light. We woke up at 5/6am while on vacation. Cant open windows cus no screen. There are some minor problen details but I don't want to leave a longer review. It wasnt all bad, we did like the location, the bike path right there, the hot tub was amazing (didnt use the sauna and fire pit), & the host was very responsive. I messaged them at 2am about a noise disturbance that I didn't expect for them to get until the morning. They responded quickly. We were comfy enough to not say it was a completely bad experience. We still enjoyed most of our vacationn. Side note, in the check out instructions they push you to give 5 stars
