Herbert and Simone were very welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond with communication and assistance before, throughout and after our trip to make sure we were getting what we needed. They are fun, kind and exciting people who are full of information and knowledge about the area and Belize in general. The Airbnb account was extremely accurate. The neighborhood was somewhat secluded, quiet and residential feeling. I felt safe and was excited to stay somewhere quaint and more simple/local feeling than resort-like. I was happy to meet such wonderful people, learn a little about the life of Maya Beach, be able to walk/bike many places, and be able to chat with Herb, Simone and their two cats :) You would need a car to do some big traveling excursions (maybe some ruins or tours etc.) but restaurants, some resorts, the beach were all in walking distance and you could get to Placencia by bike, which was really fun! Overall, a really memorable experience.
