Agreable Maison malgré 1 problème

La maison est très spacieuse ,joliment décorée ,très propre, et très bien située dans un quartier très calme. Nous avons eu 1 problème avec 1 salle de bain, le tuyau que l’on devait rajouter pour faire office de douche fuyait de partout,il était donc impossible de se doucher dans cette baignoire, heureusement il y avait 1autre douche,mais quand vous êtes 7 personnes avec 1 seule douche c est très compliqué et fort désagréable. Il serait bon de changer la robinetterie et installer 1tuyau de douche FIXE. Le 2ieme point négatif c ’est la communication 2 mails ecrits jamais de réponse.....
