We were able to drop our bags off at around 11 am, even though check-in time was 3 pm. That was great since it allowed us to tour around more easily during the day. The hosts did a great job of communicating with us even though we were not so easy to communicate with, as we didn't have an international data or phone plan. We were two couples on vacation, and Sophia's place suited our needs just fine. The living room was great for playing games and the beds were comfy. The location was convenient. Because it rained every night, we were unable to use the outside area, unfortunately.
