No contact with Patrick/Carole — all communication was with a management company, who were very responsive. The kitchen has top-end appliances, dinnerware and flatware, but is not at all equipped for preparing meals. There is a curtain panel on only half of each living room window and the curtains in the bedroom are too short to block-out light. There are lots of extra linens/luxurious towels. The clothes dryer was a nice surprise.
