Staying at this place was really a treat! Here are some things about my stay:
Enjoyed:
- Stellar views from all windows. You have the mountains and sunset views, and truly you can't beat it
- The cleanliness of the unit was great!! Access to extra towels was very helpful
- Great amenities: Washer/dryer *outside* the unit, umbrella to use if it rains, A/C, great stove/oven, dishwasher and large fridge, and lots of spices to cooke with, as well as olive oil, oatmeal and tea available for use!
- The comfortable bed!!! The pillows and bed were very soft and I had a really comfortable sleep
- The hosts' communication was responsive!
Challenges:
- The place is located on the cliffside, and the roads are barely the width of 1.5 cars. I found it scary/stressful the entire time of my stay driving a rental car I wasn't familiar with, driving the windy roads to the Air BnB not knowing if another car would be turning the corner and hit me (a lady almost did hit me on the way up while I was driving down). There aren't any mirrors at corners, so you have to drive very slow to avoid collisions. Also be comfortable driving in reverse because you have to in order to get down from the driveway from the unit, and perhaps when you run into another car that needs to get past you.
- The driveway is a steep walk up to the unit, so if you get dropped off using an Uber etc. that drops you off at the bottom, you will have to walk up that hill with your luggage! Something to be mindful of if you have various accessibility needs.
- There are A/C units that also have a heating function in the bedroom and living room area. The one in the living room isn't as powerful as I thought so the room didn't get warm very. Something to consider if you get cold easily! Bedroom kept heat fine :)
- I am a light sleeper, and I brought ear plugs with me, but I could still hear the upstairs noise from folks walking around. It was pretty loud, but I still was able to get good sleep here and there. Something to consider if you're a light sleeper like me!
Overall I enjoyed my stay! Would love to come back :)
