Overall, we had a nice experience with renting Stephanie's property. She was very responsive to our emails prior and during our stay. The house is nice and in a good location. She made us aware we would be arriving during a holiday and was able to make sure we had food for the first part of our stay, which was very necessary and greatly appreciated.

That being said, we did have some negative experiences. We were a party of six adults on a summer holiday and rented the villa assuming we would have access to the entire property. In the description, it states the villa is 5 bedrooms with 5 double beds and a pullout couch (this includes the little nanny apartment). However, we were only given access to 4 bedrooms and the small apartment was neither shown to us upon check in or mentioned and remained locked during our entire stay. The extra room would have been useful, since one of the rooms was only accessible through another bedroom and was a bit inconvenient for the people staying in those rooms.

Additionally, we wanted to note that this rental is only for people who don't mind having the hosts living just next door. A couple of times, Stephanie's uncle, Richardo, was seen walking around the property and often surprised us when we were eating on the patio. Moreover, on our last morning, the majority of our party was woken up by Uncle Richardo doing some yard work outside our windows at 06:30am. It did make us feel a bit pushed out and a disappointing end to our stay.
