The lower apartment is very very nice. Small, tucked away. The property as a whole is beautiful. The views of the mountains, ocean and surrounding gardens on the property are stunning. The house is nicely furnished and has nice amenities that are useful for cooking, etc. I would have loved to give the place 5 stars because it’s sooo pretty and peaceful. I would DEFINITELY want to stay again. However there are 2 things that the owners need to improve upon before I would come back. First the bed in the bedroom has a very unpleasant, “musty” smell. Like old sweat. I don’t think it was from the linens so it must of been the bed itself. In addition the pillows were flat and not comfortable. The bed is pretty soft but that didn’t bother me (I like soft beds). I would keep candles on at night to cover up the smell so I could sleep better. Please get a new bed...your place would be almost perfect with that addition.
Second is something I don’t think the owners can do much about...the upstairs home is super loud. You can hear people walking and talking often...and it seems like their footsteps are amplified...maybe it’s the way the house is made. But the guests above me woke up each morning at 5 am...and do to the thin walls and loud walking, I woke up at 5am too! But even with that, the place is so gorgeous and peaceful, I still really enjoyed my stay.
