The flat lacked basic utilities like gas and electricity.

Hi

Is this sentence OK?

The flat lacked basic utilities like gas and electricity.

Thanks,

Tom

PS: Would amenities work instead of utilities?

  

Top answer

Amenities are things like a hot tub or spa, a balcony with a view of the city, high ceilings, extra-large kitchen with high-end appliances (rather than basic ones), a staffed reception desk with a concierge, a party room for guests, a gated garage, a dog-walking service and so on. You can live without amenities; it would not be comfortable to live without gas and electricity.
