So let me start with the fact that Gerado was very kind and moved us to a lovely home which was so nice of him. This house was not what we expected. I'll give you the pros and cons of this house:
pros
-location - super close to the village and the metro
-safe neighboorhood
-lovely backyard
- comfy beds
con:
- the metro runs directly behind the house - they have to blow the whistle at the street crossing....this starts at 530am
-there is only on AC unit for the entire home which is in the living room and it only rated to cool a 200 sq. ft space. The day we checked in it was 91 degrees and the house was really hot - the unit isn't big enough to cool back to the bedrooms. Hopefully there will remedy this soon
-there's no dishwasher (who wants to wash dishes on vacation)
-it's an old house, so the one bathroom is super small
- there's no outlets or extention cords next to the bed so charging phones is a challenge.
We paid $300 a night for this place which felt like a lot for what was offered. It's a very basic house.
