Kitchen items were adequate for our needs. We would have liked more lightly in the main room the floor lamp was not enough all of our group are big readers and it was difficult unless we turned on the kitchen lights. We did as instructed for the trash pickup but it was not picked up on Tuesday. When we put our trash in the bin this morning before leaving the bin was full.
