Alexandra’s place is beautiful. The house is very old and has magical features and gorgeous art. The common area is the most fun to be in and is located on the 2nd floor of this 3-floors house. We didn't use it as much as it wasn't easy to navigate the floors with two small kids. The pool area is magical - surrounded by fruit trees and gorgeous views.
With all this in mind, we were quite disappointed by the following:
1. Kitchen. The main problem of the house is the kitchen. For people who love to cook is very challenging as there is only electric stove (not burners) and during our stay the oven didn't work a few times (although Alexandra called a professional to fix it). There isn't a working surface in the kitchen so it was a struggle to cook there.
2. Vertical living- there are five levels to navigate and the distance isn't easy with kids (parking lot, swimming pool, kitchen, living room and bedroom).
3. No AC, mosquitos enter (besides the separate pool house)
4. Water issues - two can't shower at same time.
5. Beds - only one double bed (full bed, not queen), in the main house.
Bottom line, the house has very unique and beautiful old features but it's not the best fit for people who are looking for comfort and relaxing house.
