Unit 14 had water ingress damage that was unsatisfactory. The bathroom layout was poor with a pedestal basin unable to be used for face washing due to a glass shelf immediately above it. The mirror was not above the basin meaning any shaving was unsatisfactory dropping water on the floor. The water damage to the door frames was disgusting. The towel hook was so small it could barely hold a face flannel. I am happy to provide photo images if you request it from me.
