I am very disappointed with the guesthouse. It is old and needs a good renovation. It is also not well taken care of and not clean. When we arrived and were shown in there were rat droppings all over the house. Sandra's father saw them, picked them up, acted as if it was not a big deal and said that is was because the place had been empty for 5 days. Obviously the house had not been cleaned after the last occupant left. There were hairs in the bathroom as well as in the bedroom, not to mention a good size spider web in the bathroom with a dead and dried spider in it. When we called Sandra that evening she told me it had never happened before and that she would take care of it the next day, which she did. But my friend did not sleep all night expecting a rat to come out any time. Also the door to the house did not lock, although the metal screen door outside did. The photos make the place look very fresh and cheerful. Unfortunately it did not match our experience. We are planning a trip to New York in May and I was thinking of using Airbnb, but I am having second thoughts now.
