Everything was great with my stay. The house was clean and the bed quite comfortable... Don't expect luxury of course at this price, and yes the door did need to be open to the room for the AC to reach, so there was some limitation in privacy (though still much less than in a hostel). But for me it was not an issue. The host's brother Freddy and his son were very warm and kind as well, but I spent most of my time at the beach which was only 10-15 or so walking :)
