tidy kitchen washing machine good location

I appreciated the tidy kitchen. It included a washing machine. This saved me from finding a launderette and I saved money too. The location was good. The house was very nice.

The room lacked proper sound insulation. I recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones. Light insulation was also poor.
