They really did not laugh at the congoleum pealing off the wall surfaces of the cooking area, and also no one made defaming comments regarding the terrible purple and also silver wallpaper in the living space. 2 of the areas, one downstairs as well as one upstairs, were left vacant as we really did not have furnishings to load them.
