this house is super cool and well situated. it is a tranquil retreat (except for a neighboring dog which will bark upon every entry and exit from the guest house). my ground-floor suite was spacious and comfortable, though it lacked some details, such as a towel hook for the shower or curtains to provide privacy from the alley traffic (something at least one other guest has mentioned). beach towels were provided, which is a rare amenity. there was a misunderstanding regarding cleaning (one does NOT, in fact, get a cleaning or linen change mid-way through a one-week stay, despite the listing saying that such was included in the price) which quickly turned shockingly ugly. though the hostess tried to make amends, i feel obligated to document the incident in case this is part of a pattern of behavior that other guests have experienced. the quality of the breakfast was inconsistent and generally poor, and never included fruit. with all that said, i can recommend this place. if you do stay, please do visit the local bodega run by tiago and his father!
