"Pretty serious uphill driving, I’d recommend a high torque all wheel drive. Place is very small and loft is so low that even my 4 year old had to bend. Oven is old and didn’t seem to work. Overall I think it’s a great price for the views and the Tesla charging. If you have your expectations set right you’ll be happy. "
