The house has everything needed for cooking your meals. Nice pots and pans, knives, crock pot, blender, rice cooker, single cup & pot combined coffee maker. Grill works great and plenty of new outdoor furniture. You want it, it's here. Beds are very comfy with new pillows. As far as traffic on Empress, it is busy, but we backed into the driveway so it was easy to leave the house. TV is You tube........that took some getting used to. Had to call Mike to walk us through it. Missed having the use of DVR to record shows.
