I stayed in Arianna’s place for a couple of nights and have summed up my stay as follows:
The Great:
- shower water pressure/hot water
- bathroom essentials provided
- thoughtful touches (like breakfast in the fridge, water and some light snacks)
- super clean ( like really, really, clean )
- A/C works well
- beach towels provided
- walking distance to beach (one of the far ends), but walking across to the other side where more of the restaurants are will take you no more than 15 mins, so pretty well situated
- pretty quiet at night (you’ll get the occasional dog bark, but no car traffic or anything like that)
- as a host, Arianna is super responsive and helpful. She’s A+ as far as hosts go.
The not-so-great:
- wifi is pretty much non existent (one bar at best, but more often then not the network doesn’t catch at all); I didn’t spend enough time in the unit for this to bother me enough to bring up to the host, but worth mentioning in case travellers need to work while on the road
- the bed is hard, like cardboard on top of springs hard. To be fair to the host I didn’t make a big deal if this either, just slept on the sofa in the living room, but if you’re planning for a longer stay, be prepared for a pretty uncomfortable sleep - both mattress and pillows are pretty awful
Despite this until being really great in some regards; I likely wouldn’t stay here again.
