»The house was recently renovated, and with an additional bungalow at the back, gave us more than enough room to move around in. It would be great if the owner would provide a user manual, especially for the oven and stove, and where the washing machine/dryer is located and how to operate it. Also, not to leave the WiFi password on a scrappy piece of paper, hanging on the wall on the complete opposite side to where the WiFi router is located. Also, to make the writing a lot more legible.«
