It was not as we expected. It is overpriced for that location, with poor value for the money.
pro:
- close to the Stegna Beach and close to Rhode's best beaches.
- the house is behind other buildings, thus not directly on the street, nor close to bars. that said, the noise isolation between the different units is inexistant, you can litteraly hear you neighbors breath. We were lucky that the other units were occupied only briefly during our 9 days stay.
- air conditioning in each room.
Contra:
- overpriced: we noticed that the unit is offered on other sites for less than half the price here. Better situated units (notably closer to the beach) can be found cheaper.
- the unit is extremely small: between 20 and 25 sqm. The kitchen, living room and second room are all in one space with a very low mezzanine: height for the "living room" is 1,7 or 1,8m; height for the sleeping area is approx 1,2 m. All of this with no window, so that it looks more like a cave. If you are claustrophobic you should forget it. The larger room was more comfortable with approx 10 sqm.
- having a mezzanine in a hot country is a very bad idea, because the air conditioning was unable to cool the upper space. Sleeping in the second room was fairly painful for this reason.
- low quality beds: we felt the beds were not comfortable, as we could fell the springs.
kitchen equipements were in the lower standards of Airbnb. No salt, sugar, water, etc.
