| 6. When you say the kitchen is fully equipped, what do you mean? |
We mean the only thing you would need to buy or bring is dish washing soap. All the pots, pans, cookware, cups, bowls, plates and so forth are there for you. In fact, since we have young children of our own, we have stocked the kitchen in addition to the normal flatware with plastic cups, plates and bowls for the safety and comfort of the kids.
