Very happy generally but would prefer to have AC
It's excellently located yet quiet at night. We were in a family room so it was great to have the beds upstairs. The only thing we would have liked to have was air conditioning - I image it will get very hot in the family room during the hotter Summer months. They provide you with Dyson fans which are OK but still make a reasonable amount of noise.
