"Photos are misleading as it makes it look like you are in open spaces with scenic views and nothing around... in reality you are close to a busy road and houses on every side. The water pressure was absolutely terrible and I didn't receive instructions on how to find my destination, codes, keys etc... I had to follow it up myself which was stressful."
