There is always pros and cons staying somewhere and here are a few of both.
Hope this helps.
Pros:
- central location
- restaurants, bars, clubs, supermarkets are close by.
- airport is approx 22min away
- home was clean and advertised correctly
- great communication between host
- scooters and bicycles is a great form of transportation and it’s right near the home. Few feet away. Utilize it. Trust me.
Cons:
- There’s no Air condition. In the summer it’s very hot & humid and the house just had fans. It was uncomfortable when coming from the heat outside and then walking back inside the house with more heat. They provided fans but that wasn’t doing the job we needed.
- Ubers are out there. However, try utilizing a taxi. It’ll be the same price approx as an Uber or maybe a little cheaper. You’ll have to wait a long time for an uber rather than a taxi. So pick one up from the airport. A taxi ride is better.
- If you are visiting with a group of friends, great. However, at night it’s sketchy. Really can’t control that. Ppl around where we stayed stay hustling but was not pestering as much. It could be because I’m guy. Local Women say the area is a little strange at night. But I felt safe. Many tourists women I saw stayed in the area and I did not see no problems regarding their safety. But I’m just 1 person.
- Shower get clogged up as the water doesn’t drain fast. But it’s minor.
All in all, I’ll visit again. Communication was great. Area is perfect. You are close to almost everything. Try and utilize a bike or scooter when traveling. It’ll save u more time than sitting in a taxi, and it’s affordable pricing as well.
Air conditioning is a must however. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed.
