Firstly, thanks to José for having us. This is advertised as an Airbnb but we underestimated a few things about this. It’s a private room in a hostel, and our private balcony is in fact shared with a dorm. Also, the lock on the balcony door didn’t work so we never felt comfortable leaving our belongings in the room. The bathroom floor is always damp, the shower floods very quickly and the bathroom in general has spots of mould / uncleanliness which wasn’t great. The double bed was quite uncomfortable to sleep in, and we couldn’t wait to find another accommodation to stay in. It isn’t very centrally located so there’s a fair bit of uphill walking each day - it became a bit of a ‘fun’ challenge for me and my partner. While José’s communication was spot on, he was quite stubborn and unreasonable with his response to our requests despite us paying extra money for an amendable booking. That being said, the breakfast is fantastic, this is a great value stay, and the receptionist was always very friendly and helpful, just be prepared for the trade-offs of staying in a budget hostel and having to walk quite far to get to the city centre / surf schools.
