A Birthday present for my partner, so was disappointed to arrive at a property described as luxurious, but definitely not. No hairdryer, light not working, no explanations as to how to use appliances including heating. Also a wall where a frame/picture had been previously been, instead the 4 adhesive stickers left on the wall. Lovely!
