Wonderful. Very quiet.
Lovely units. Bed linens were a bit of a problem. The fitted sheet in the master suite was too small and come off from the top corners EVERY night. We had to purchase a hair dryer and a small mixer as there were none but everything else was good!! More information in the book could have been useful, garbage pick up days!!
