As someone who travels quite often (domestically in the US and internationally), there were a few things that were a challenge for us. First, We were given GPS coordinates to find the house, but the problem was that there are other homes on the property, so we had trouble finding it.
Secondly, when we arrived, Thomas sent photos of where the key would be hidden, but it wasn’t there. We had to wait about 15 minutes for the neighbor to bring us the key.
When we entered the house, it was so hot because all the electricity was turned off. As American travels, we had a difficult time figuring out what to do. Thankfully we figured out the electric box and got things running. I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to sleep in the downstairs bedroom the first night due to the heat and had to move to the kitchen futon at 2am to be closer to the AC. It was awfully hot in the bedroom because even with the windows there was no breeze coming in and you could hear the planes flying over until around 11pm. There definitely needs to be a second AC in the downstairs bedroom, so you don’t have to freeze when you are in the kitchen. We used a small fan to blow air down to the bedroom, but it didn’t work well enough to cool it down. Thomas responded the next day with a larger fan, which really helped. If all this was rectified before our arrival, we wouldn’t have had such a rough first night.
Now for the positives: Thomas was a quick responder to every inquiry and was very kind during our phone conversations. He tried his best to help us even though he wasn’t in the area. We liked that the home was outside of the main town with all the hustle and bustle. We felt like locals and loved the sweet lady next door. She even told us how to enter the cute little church on the property.
