Hele grote badkamer/ wc ruimte maar geen opbergkastje voor toiletspullen en de toilet staat zowat tegen de wastafel. Er is ook geen prullenbakje. De douche is heerijk en groot, maar de mengkraan heeft kuren. Wastafel ouderwets met twee losse kranen waar je nauwelijks je handen onder kunt houden. Kleine koelkast terwijl er een grotere in kan. 1 Relax stoel en 1 burostoel? Er rijd een diesel goederen trein vlak achter je huisje. Gebeurd niet veel gelukkig (Werkspoor) Was de eerste keer wel schrikken.
