weak pressuredistant spot
The shower pressure was so weak. it was like standing under a leaky faucet, and the temperature was either scalding or freezing. There was no in-between. also, finding a parking spot seemed like competing in the olympics. I circled the area for ages, and when i finally found one, it was miles away. we loved the location. but the view was amazing!
