Wow we loved this location! I didn't mind the view of the courtyard at all. A few garbage cans won't deter my enjoyment of the solitude this place had. They took a tiny part of the courtyard. The shower was the issue for us. Hanna said she would fix it. Basically the shower is very small the way it's set up now. Between the curtain and the wall, you have a very small amount of space. My soap kept falling and it was not fun taking a shower. Then the shower curtain fell down and water was hitting the bare wall. I suggest tiling the shower to finish it out.
