Expect nothing except a room. Outlets connected to light switches - except there is no way to no until you wake up to a dead phone plugged in to a charger. Want temperature control? The remote doesn’t work, so you have to turn on the window unit. TV? Yeah - remote doesn’t work. Shower? Door has no handle so you can’t close it. Just a terribly maintained property.
