Diana's was really great, and for just a couple reasons, really bad. I really want to give a good review because I enjoyed getting to know Diana and I sincerely like her but there were just a few things that I feel l should mention so people aren't surprised if they are still issues.
The 2 main things were the lack of air conditioning (A/C) and that, since the water supply comes from a well, it stank of sulfur whenever we used water anywhere in the studio.
When we were there (and I am optimistic that it usually isn't like this), the A/C unit was broken...there was a unit in the wall but it didn't function. One of the major reasons I went with this place was for the A/C...especially being pregnant. Diana called to have someone come to fix it but no one ever came. It made the cute studio a very uncomfortable place considering how hot and humid it was...even when we had the fans on and the windows were open and the air was blowing through, it was still sticky and hot. And then, when we wanted to rinse our sweat off, we smelled like rotten eggs from the water coming out of the shower.
It is mentioned that there are swimming pools within blocks of the house, which is true, but I believe they were all at hotels and are supposed to be for hotel guests only. I'm sure you can get around that and just order a drink and poach a pool but we didn't feel comfortable doing that.
All this aside, we did enjoy talking with Diana, meeting the other couple that were staying in another room at her place, and having a 'home' on San Pedro.
The bikes were of great use and the location of the house was pretty convenient. The houses before you get to hers are not nearly as nice and when we were first driving there, I was surprised by the conditions of even the house next door. Once you are at Diana's though, you feel like you're in a comfortable, albeit sweaty, cocoon of safeness.
As long as she fixes the A/C and the smell of the water is resolved, it would have been an absolutely perfect place to stay. And she could very well have fixed both the A/C and the water smell by now.
