Lovely space with a few quirks

Great overall shared space, the steep stairs should be highlighted and noted as it was a bit treacherous. Appreciated basic kitchen and bathroom supplies, should know how small bathroom and kitchen are especially for a three bedroom rental. Overall lovely and thoughtful. space, lovely books, abundant games, and glassware.
