Polly, extraordinarily relaxed.

So many of these houses are designed for fully functioning adults with excellent balance, mobility, and eyesight. I could not get into a sunken bathtub to save my soul. And do not get me started on the killer stairs.
I remember a listing where the owner had taken the pics. Cringe..Undies drying . Dishes. People wtaching tv
Oooh, nice library!
I’m not so sure about the dill pickle Goldfish. But then again, I take issue with the “classic” Goldfish flavor being the Cheddar. I like their Original flavor so much better. The limited time pumpkin spice one was tasty, though.
Dragon and sheep! Yay!
I like going on cruises, but I don’t think I would want to live in a house that’s reminiscent of being on a ship. (I definitely don’t want to be the one keeping the floors clean and shiny.)
I’m not generally a fan of open stairs at all, but especially not over food-related areas. So many cursed stairs! The ones in that London Airbnb are particularly awful, though.
