The host was great. Very fast to respond to my request and emails. She wasn't in town that weekend, so she had a family member drop off the keys, and was at my disposal.

The neighborhood was great as well. It's one of the nicer ones in town, more upper class. Very close to the beaches, and everywhere else with something happening.

The apartment was ok, but not quite what I expected, especially for what I was paying. The blinds on the windows were old, and didn't work very well, and there were no curtains. Therefore, once the sun rises in the morning, it shines in your face and wakes you up. The bed was old, and dirty. You can feel the springs in your back as you sleep.

The shower is small and oddly shaped, making it difficult to move. And the shower pressure is very low, so it takes forever to rinse the soap off your body. At $75US a night, I think this place was over priced, even if it was during the New Year.

Most of these issues can be fixed very easily, and the place would be a lot nicer, if the owner would put just a little TLC (Tender Loving Care) and a small amount of money into it.
