Our biggest concern was the mattresses all need to be replaced. They are old and very soft. We were all in our late 60s, and while no one minded the idea of a bunk bed, we didn't realize that the bed was under a very low slanted ceiling, and that there was no opening where the ladder was, which made it impossible for us to use. The basement was extremely musty and moldy smelling, so we didn't even want to go down there to use the bathroom, much less try a mattress from there. The upstairs main living area was very nice, and we had a lot of fun hanging out. We are artists, and our main reason for going was to paint. The weather wasn't great, so we had to paint inside, where the light was very minimal--fine for everything but painting!! All in all, though, we had a very good time!
