Caitlin's Shower Commentary

At First Glance: Two separate bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs bathroom became the kids’ bathroom. It was a bathtub-shower combo with a clear glass curtain that only reached half of the bathtub. The downstairs shower was a somewhat spacious telephone-booth style shower, but still just big enough for a person, and nothing more.

Shower Power: Upstairs shower was absolutely pathetic. Ben said he got better pressure from a water fountain. The shower downstairs had delig...

At First Glance: Two separate bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs bathroom became the kids bathroom. It was a bathtub-shower combo, with a box for the temperature and power adjustments, and a clear glass curtain that folded up like an accordion in the corner, or stretched to shelter two-thirds of the bathtub. The upstairs shower was a telephone-booth style shower, just big enough for a person, and nothing more. Its temperature and power adjusters came in the form of som...

At First Glance: Four bathrooms, three showers, one a shower/bath combo! Not very clean, though, and only the bare neccessities, and some still lacking. No counter space or hooks or anywhere to put things that's not the floor!

Shower Power: Small, but surprisingly powerful.

Hot or Not?: Perfectly, wonderfully hot, correctly labeled, and easily adjustable.

What Made it Nice: Lovely tile work, though it's really a synthetic material made to look like tile. And the bathtub had little ledges o...

At First Glance: Bathtub/shower combo with a door that only covers half the bathtub. That could mean water everywhere! But it was also a rather large bathtub too! Again, the shower has a box with a power button and two dials: one for temperature and one for pressure.

Shower Power: Impressive, but not amazing.

Hot or Not?: Scalding hot! Unbearable! All of us have now showered, but we can’t seem to find the perfect temperature. One either burns oneself or takes a bath like Dad ended up doi...

At First Glance: Two bathrooms, one upstairs, with a toilet and a bathtub, and one downstairs, with a toilet and a shower. White and clean. The shower has a box with a power button and two dials: one for temperature and one for pressure. Simple, and yet so complicated! And the shower had curved sliding glass doors that slid together to keep the water from going everywhere. That said, the shower itself was not that spacious, in fact it was smaller than a telephone booth, but the rest of the ba...

At First Glance: Like campground showers again, but unisex and only four of them. We’ll pass, thanks!

Shower Power: Dad (the only one brave enough to try these showers) said you had to keep pushing a button every so often to keep the water coming.

Hot or Not?: Dad made no comment on this aspect of his shower, so it was presumably pleasant (unmentionably so).

What Made it Nice: Not much. Dad didn’t complain about the low height of the showerhead though, so it must have been good. And h...

At First Glance: Weird layout! Three “bathrooms”, but not at all what one would expect. One bathroom has a shower, a sink, a washing machine, a mirror, a stool, lots of towels, and plenty of hanging space – the “shower room”. The second has a toilet, a sink, a mirror, and a few cleaning supplies – the “toilet room”. The third bathroom has two sinks, two mirrors, a bath and shower combination, and a bidet, along with an abundance of towel rods and hooks – the “bath room”....

At First Glance: Rather small, but functional. Two sliding doors slide towards a corner, where they meet to seal off the shower. The doors are an awesome-looking material that looks like it has bubbles on it, but that’s just the design. There’s a shower caddy in the shower, the first in many months. It has two shelves, two hooks, and a soap bar.

Shower Power: Incredible, if you turn it on all the way. It was conveniently adjustable.

Hot or Not?: Not so adjustable, but plenty hot once w...

At First Glance: Two separate bathrooms, two separate showers, and two separate water heaters (per our hostess) means two people can shower at the same time in two different showers! Whoa!

Shower Power: Impressive! The kids’ shower had better pressure than the parents’ shower, however.

Hot or Not?: Hot. But difficult knobs, though correctly labeled. Not exactly easily adjustable.

What Made it Nice: Showerhead had a mount, but was also detachable and had several different settings! Al...
