I lived at Ethel's place for a month and a half. I would have stayed longer if there weren't bookings but I was grateful for the amount of time I was able to be there. You hear the peaceful sounds of nature all day and they put you to sleep at night. I was weary at first because I thought there would be lots of mosquitoes, however the apartment is very well insulated and not a bite! Every window has a screen and the doors are sealed well. The place is very comfortable and the wifi is strong. Ethel even provided me a working desk and a chair (I work online) which was very kind of her. The metro is close by and the beach is only a 10 min walk away. Ethel and her family are very kind people and anyone interested in staying here, I highly recommend.
