Thank you for your review. We love the view so are very hesitant to cover the view/windows and typically only impacts us during morning in winter when most guests tend to be out of home. We have plastic glassware in the wet bar above the sink (plastic wine and champagne glasses) and under the island to the left hand side (to go coffee and drink wear). Paper plates are located in the pantry. We would have been happy to answer any of your questions. We are happy to and want to have everyone enjoy their stay. The huge fan in the living area provides air circulation for the home and helps ensure even temperature for the radiant floor heating in the large living area. Thank you for staying - we hope you enjoyed the home.
