Maintenance is a problem. If you open the tap you need to grab the tap otherwise the tap is turning into the same direction as what you are turning. The shower is "inside the bath" - it's very slippery - no "non-slip" mat inside the bath. There is a notice that you are using the facilities at your own risk. This won't succeed in a civil claim of liability because the relevant law does not indemnify an owner against such a notice. We were staying in unit number 4
