Alex and Rafael are lovely people, friendly and helpful. Rafael made sure he was around when I arrived to explain the atypical keybox. The pool house is very well designed, uncluttered, and impeccably clean. It is definitely small.
The neighborhood was fine - bus access is good, there is plenty of street parking, and I felt safe on foot.
What I didn't care for was the layout of the property. There is a very heavy iron gate that must be opened to get on or off the property. (The fence is tall, and there is no other exit.) The gate does not roll easily and was difficult for me to open. There are two large travel trailers (also short-term rentals) that are squeezed onto the parking pad beside the pool house. There was only a foot or so clearance between the end of one of the trailer hitches and the iron fence, making it difficult to get by, particularly with luggage.
Alex and Rafael are fairly new Airbnb hosts, so I am hoping that they will make some changes so that this little pool house becomes as comfortable to get to as it is to stay in.
