"The Good: Comfortable Beds: The beds allowed for restful sleep. Entertainment Options: TVs equipped with Roku for streaming, though initially unplugged.

Cluttered Space: The house felt like a personal storage area, filled with the owner's odds and ends. Thermostat Issues: Inefficient settings caused the house to overheat, wasting energy.
