Absolutely loved the location-- Santa Theresa was a wonderful area to visit, full of life with a vibrant food and arts culture. Our stay, however, was not so wonderful. I've have a number of incredibly hospitable stays with AirBNB hosts but unfortunately this was not one of them.

1. The accommodation was subpar. There was mold and the space held humidity, leaving us to sleep in wet bedding. Additionally, the wooden ladder leading up to the loft bed was not stable and did not feel safe. It seemed as though this space compromised quality for "modern chic."

2. Running water was not always available. Although Theresa mentioned being able to switch water sources, we were not able to contact her friend who was hosting us in time of need. One night I knocked on the door and rang a bell with no answer. Thankfully, the water eventually ended up coming back on later that night but I had been in the middle of a shower.

3. Being as though Theresa was away during our stay, a friend remained on the property to host us. While her friend was very kind, she seemed incredibly distressed since before we arrived. Communication with this third party friend was not well facilitated and made the experience rather uncomfortable.

4. We had an even more uncomfortable experience on the day of check out. We asked for the favor of leaving our belongings onsite throughout the day since we had an evening flight. While the host agreed to this, we were were made to feel like a great inconvenience. For example, I was told that I was no longer a guest when I sat down on an outside patio chair while waiting for transportation to the airport.

Ultimately, we did not have a comfortable or welcoming experience during our stay.
