This property was slightly run down. I was going to use the coffee maker but it was dirty and broken. Everything was unplugged when we arrived, even the refrigerator. The main place where things were to be plugged in were attached to a single outlet. Rats nest of plugs into an extension cord. That outlet was loose on the wall, so not very safe in my opinion. As far as the window shades, they allowed a lot of light through. We put a blanket on so we could sleep. Ice in the ice machine was frozen solid and dirty. There was a nice river behind the property, you could sit outside and enjoy the view. I won’t go back. Sorry
