There were MOSQUITOES in the living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. We tried using the mosquito repellent from the garden, to no effect. Within the first 30 minutes, we found/killed 10 mosquitoes and were bitten twice. We had to leave because we were so uncomfortable. Even if the previous travelers may have left the mosquitoes inside the house, this is not our issue to deal with.
For check-in, we arrived at the agreed upon check-in time and waited 10 minutes on the street but could not get into contact with Claudio or Beth. We went to a park to wait an hour, before going back to the property and knocking. Claudio said he arrived soon-after us, but his phone was dead.
Overall, very uncomfortable with the mosquitoes and check-in experience. Barring these two issues, I'm sure that the value and location would have been excellent had we been able to stay.
