Overall the stay was fine. The house decor/ambience is beautiful, especially the garden. Lovely book selection too! However, some minor (or major, depending on how high maintenance of a guest you are) details resulted in it not being an A+ stay.
First, the AC was not functioning properly, or at all for that matter. We were out and about during the day anyway, and since the home is just a few blocks from the beach, it was bearable at night. We found a fan, which one guest used in their room.
There was a fairly large brown stain on the comforter in the master bedroom (coffee maybe?). We only slept with the bed sheet anyway, since the AC wasnt working, so it worked out.
The first night we were chatting in the garden (3 guests total) and at about 10:30 the neighbor upstairs barked at us that she was going to bed soon therefore we needed to take it inside (our conversation). I can understand, perhaps she needed to wake up early and im sure she heard our voices, however the manor in which she addressed us was extremely impolite. We were not playing music, nor being excessively loud, just having a conversation. I recommend if you are staying with friends or family, be weary of any such congregation in the garden after a certain time.
Other than those details, the stay was pleasent. Mostly the AC not working was the biggest issue, which is why I would not recommend this place, nor would I stay here again.
