View excellent. Equipment good. Sofa too low, bed not terribly comfortable, shower needs shelf, dining table sticky, apparently from recent application of varnish. Could overlook above because view was so good. Big problem was unpleasant smell in kitchen that appeared after days of heavy rain.Source needs investigating.
