This was our first experience with Airbnb and we were very happy. Chila had excellent recommendations for tour operators and restaurants. Multiple people we met who live on the island had very nice things to say about Chila and they were confirmed getting to know her. The balcony in the upstairs unit is a lovely place to enjoy the ocean breeze and people watch. You can comfortably leave the door and windows open while sleeping or close up and use the AC if things get busy outside. It usually quiets down fairly early. More than one person staying in a hotel expressed jealousy when we described the room and the cost. I would definitely recommend it after spending two weeks on the island and seeing what is available.
