Toilet cistern mechanism broken, we had to lift lid on cistern to operate flush. Nowhere in bathroom for toothbrushes etc except the floor!! A shelf would have been useful. Outside bin store was not nice to go into, rusty paint tins on floor. Cleaners need to pay attention to vacuuming as we found toenail clippings and a ring by bedside cabinet, not nice to tread on!! Patio was hardly big enough for the table and 2 chairs, one of which kept falling off in front of the door, not really somewhere we would choose to sit. Kitchen was well equipped and clean except for ship ornaments in window which had black mould on.
