    “Remove clothes drier from amenities list as there wasn’t one.”

    And better instructions for the Amazon stick for the technically challenged (like us). We were delighted with Susanna’s Apartment. One felt really rather special snuggling down in the comfy sofas. Oh, and we got a hoot out of the pull chain loo flush.
