Nikolas’ place is very nice and unique. Te views are unbeatable and the location is away from the hustle and bustle but very accessible. It’s rustic and the white walls make you feel like you’re in a cave. The sunrises were our favourite part. At around 6am, the sun rises directly in front of you and you are right beside the ocean and it’s just as pretty as the sunset.
The downside to this place was the cleanliness. It just wasn’t what we hoped for. Very dusty and dirty floors, spider webs everywhere, dirty plates and cups. We had to wash everything before first use and our neighbours in the suite next to us told us the same thing.
We hoped to have the place all to ourselves but didn’t realize it’s 3 separate apartments all side by side. So you share the balcony and Nikolas lives just behind the suites. If you want total privacy this is probably not the place for you!
Also, there are a lot of bugs. Like we probably encountered at least 5 spiders a day and a few flying bugs here and there. I’m terrified of them and can’t sleep if I know they’re in the room. take note that this place has no AC and gets very hot in the summer. So if you open the windows you’ll get a cool breeze and plenty of bugs. I bought essential oils and diluted it with water and sprayed it around so spiders wouldn’t come in. I wish they could do something about this because I didn’t sleep well the whole time.
All in all, we had higher hopes for this place but still had a good time. Keep in mind the private beach below is pebbled and very dirty, a lot of seaweed bits floating about so also a bit of a let down. Also another towel for the beach would’ve been nice.
We are still grateful to Nikolas and I especially loved his puppy. She was a sweetheart.
