Pros: Great location, close to beach and supermarkets, suggestions of places in guest house helped a lot. A/c worked great. Quick responses to any needs. Cons: Construction going on, so it was noisy overall. Paper thin walls so you could hear other’s conversations. Few towels.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would only give 2 stars for location, byt otherwise the propeert itself was less than average. The Wifi never worked, we messaged to alert the property but they did not arrive to fix it until the day we left. Thet bathroom was moldy on the sid of the vanity sink and the bathroom didnt look clean. The sofa was falling apart, the neighbors in the other apartment were loud in the shared space and smoking weed. Thank god ww only had to stay 1 night, would not book again.

We had a really disappointing experience at this place. We tried calling the host for over 3 hours and never got a response, which left us stuck without access. When we finally got in, the space was dirty and clearly not prepared for a new guest. The showerhead was also hanging and barely attached, which made using it very uncomfortable and unsafe. Overall, poor communication and lack of basic maintenance really ruined the stay.
