Reviews
The only problem I had was the sink is absolutely tiny. Like ridiculously tiny, half the size of a regular sink- if you try to brush your teeth, you pretty much end up missing it completely.
I also didn't see a spot to fill up a water bottle and there's no way a bottle would fit under the tap in the sink.
The room is quite large.
