Very accommodating hosts - I ended up booking in for multiple consecutive stays due to the pandemic. I was lucky to have found such a safe and nice haven in 2020.
House and garden were very good overall. The garden is quite wild and I was allowed to grow vegetables, which was wonderful.
The location is, on one hand, great - close to the beach, close to the hills for walking, buses to the city and it’s a nice neighbourhood with local shops and good restaurants. On the other hand, it wasn’t so good a location due to the nightclub next door. At first, they had outdoor speakers directed into the garden with music playing from 10am. They also play heavy bass until 6am every night in high season - I couldn’t hear the music in the house but the heavy bass vibrated throughout the building, even with all the windows and doors closed.
The hosts approached the nightclub owner about this, for which I was very grateful. The daytime music issue was resolved, but not the heavy bass. This did affect my sleep a lot and I was looking at other accommodation options. However, due to the on and off pandemic restrictions, a midnight curfew was brought in and at times the club had to close fully, meaning I could get decent sleep.
Some people can sleep through anything; I can sleep through most things and tried ear plugs etc, but I could not sleep in a vibrating bedroom. :-)
Lovely view of the mountains from the house, also. So I’d fully recommend the house during low season, and if you can sleep through heavy bass, it would suit you for high season too.
Really great hosts and I feel a bit bad about having to write about the nightclub but I have to be fair to others using AirBnB.
