My vacation was a nightmare. Luz had construction going inside the house the whole time I was there (4 weeks and 3 days).
The noise was constant starting in the morning and until the evening. The workers talking and laughing, the music they had was loud and one of them kept singing along, the hammering and drilling was constant. I asked the host for how long was the construction going to last and she said “not long” , I explained to her that my job requieres that I do live video conferencing and the noise was a problem, she asked me for my schedule so she could tell the workers to stop. I gave her my schedule but she constantly forgot to tell them and I had to interrupt my session to text her asking to please stop the noise. In my frustration I left several times to find a quiet place to work.
The casita has big windows to the patio and the workers kept walking by chatting and laughing so I had no peace and no privacy. The place has a strange smell and lots of humidity. The chairs in the dinning room are falling apart and the couches in the living room are torn and loose.
I was not left with extra sheets or towels and the cleaning was done once per week. The second and third week there was no cleaning and when I texted the host about it she just said “oops”. The last week I rented another place and left as I needed at least a few days of rest. What an awful experience, I do not recommend this place.
