We didn't get a chance to meet Valanti, just got the keys from his mailbox which was ok. We liked the location, but the few things we didn't like was the noise at night from the street (motorcycle and people were loud and yelling), damp season so mosquitoes kept coming in, and the bed was a bit uncomfortable. We stayed 8 days and like the town and at first wanted to stay longer but Valanti gave me a price that was much higher than his listed rate on airbnb. He said he couldn't give a weekly discount which I understand but it was more than 30 percent the normal price so we found a hotel nearby for cheaper.
