My only complaints is the WiFi was extremely unreliable and would constantly cut off, and I wish there was a way to cover the sunlight from entering the bedroom in the morning. Other than that, I did love everything else about it and do recommend it. it's a whole house basically, definitely oversized for what I needed but no complaints there. Cold ac, too cold. Other than the wifi everything was great.
