The House

We have a very comfortable home but it is quite different than what we are used to. All of the appliances have an on/off switch, washer, dryer, stove, etcetera. We are still trying to figure out why. Each room has its own air conditioner with its own remote to control the temperature individually. The units are built in and would remind you of a radiator in size. All of the appliances are water saving and smaller than what we are used to. A full load of clothes here is about 1/4 of a load back home. Linens and bedding are quite different. No top sheets, only duvets and the pillows are made of what I can only describe as something similar to duvet stuffing.

Anything goes wrong you call maintenance and someone comes very quickly. There are tons of maintenance people, all with specialties so you have the electrical guy, the plumbing guy, the cable guy and no one crosses over into any other job.

There are nice public areas in the compound. Each section has its own pool so you only share the pool with perhaps 8 houses. We have a restaurant, a dry cleaner, a library, a gym, a grocery store, all right here so you can just run out and do what you need to do.
