You cannot ask for better hosts! Innocenzo and his wife were so kind to us. They went above and beyond (took us to the pharmacy when our daughter was sick, sent over his sister when he wasn’t home to help us with a problem, offered to take us to the doctor day or night).
The location is right on a beach. It is so convenient to walk right out and it is also not at all crowded! The beach was beautiful, some trash around, but views of the mountain and beautiful blue water. You need to rent a car because it was not a great location to walk to the stores or restaurants. It is possible, just up a big hill and maybe more than a mile on curvy roads. Host helped us rent a car locally and it was much cheaper than at the airport- but then you also have to pay for shuttle coats. This was a little lost in translation. Host was SO good about responding quickly, but a lot was unclear. Maybe the Airbnb app translation feature was at fault. But I thought we were getting it at the airport so I paid to rent the car two extra days plus the transfer from the airport. But it was great to have the shuttle. So helpful and good with all of our kids and stuff.
Host had some sand toys outside that he allowed us to use and there was a little swing and slide that the kids enjoyed.
Apartment was clean and simple. There was a few things that were old in the bathroom and kitchen. I think it would have been nice for a new dish sponge (the one provided was old and yucky) and there wasn’t oil or basic spices. But this can be easily fixed so it may not be accurate for future reviews. Also, it said there would be soap and shampoo provided and there wasn’t. But we bought some at the grocery store.
I think there might be several properties in that apartment building that he rents so I was sad that there wasn’t a beach view (as in the photos) from our balcony. But it was still nice to have a place to eat outside.
Host provided a crib and high chair. I liked the simple furniture and decorations because it was nice for small kids. I wasn’t afraid they would be wrecking things.
We had a really nice time and even though some things were different than I expected, I really recommend these hosts and this beach. I think I lowered the score slightly because I feel like it wasn’t represented like I was expecting.
