"Great view. Kitchen needed a grater. Downstairs bathroom had no mirror, and the door lock was broken. Upstairs toilet had no door lock. Upstairs bathroom had no exhaust fan and no door lock, also no anti slip mat or grab rail for shower over bath - this is a huge falls risk for elderly guests (my parents aged 90 92) and it should be stated in the listing that the shower over the bath is upstairs."
