Location is great, 2 blocks from the nearest beach. There is a grocery store just downstairs which is very convenient! Place is spacious with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. All appliances work, though the washing machine is very loud. Furniture is worn but it is functional. I would recommend updating the air bnb photos as it looks like some furniture has changed, such as the couch is different, and to show the accurate representation of the furniture as some pieces have been quite worn down. Host was very nice and quick to respond to questions we had and was very nice.
My biggest complaint would be the cleanliness of the place. This place was obviously never cleaned before our arrival. This should have been done prior to our arrival and therefore the host wouldn’t be able to do much to resolve this problem after the fact (we arrived around 1am so there would have been plenty of time to clean). Walls need to be wiped down, there are also small dust clumps(?) stuck to the some of the walls. There is a decently sized tear in the wall above the couch. Also, dust is caked on floor moldings, door frames, window sills, outlets, light fixtures, really anything it can touch. Floors were not swept, we did this upon arrival ourselves. The only thing that was clean was the bed linens and towels.
The was also an ant problem. Not just a few ants here and there but lines of them. Anytime we sprayed raid to kill them in one area they would appear in another area. This was a constant annoyance. We did let the host know of the problem and they provided some additional spray cleaner but we found the raid worked the best. The host also advised that due to the tropical area this is normal. However, having been to other tropical areas recently, there were way too many ants. I did let the host know I was still finding them upon our departure.
The host did advise that they would be touching up some places of the flat as we were leaving; so I hope that some of the problems we faced will be resolved for the next guest.
