Maria's. place is very close to the beach, which is great, but it also very close to the transient tent city and drug mecca that scream and party much of the night. I wouldn't have had a problem with this if it were just me and my partner, but it wasn't a great place for kids.
I let her know right when we arrived that there was only one roll of toilet paper for two bathrooms (and there were 5 of us). It took nearly 30 hours for her house cleaner to drop more off.
The decor is fun and funky, with cozy furniture and beds. We did have quite a few cockroaches in the house, and there's some basic repair needed (windows don't shut/lock, the bathroom door doesn't shut, unless you want to stay in there).
When we arrived, she let us know that the shower was broken and there would be a plumber there the following day to repair it. I thought it was inappropriate as a vacation rental guests that I had to stay with the plumber and wait for him to return with the parts (which is what he told me). After he took the broken piece with him, I called Maria to tell her that he would have to come back when we checked out the following morning. I happened to return to the house about an hour later from the beach and the plumber was in the house, trying to figure out which light bulb to replace, with the front door wide open. My purse, computer and my partner's wallet were on the kitchen counter. There was no call to let us know that he would be returning, or that he was in the house with our things. I thought it was very unprofessional for what we paid to stay on vacation.
