Gloria's place is an A+, 100% perfect, 5-star Airbnb. Most important points: SUPER safe; convenient and quiet location; easy street parking (never more than a half block away); the definition of cozy; SO clean; comfortable beds AND bed linens; awesome bathrooms (having 2 is such a pleasure) with super comfy towels; fantastic kitchen (fully equipped for REAL); easy check in and check out; lovely hostess; perfect AC units that make literally no noise...
Gloria's cottage is the epitome of a private Airbnb experience. For four adults (me/boyfriend/my mom/my sister) it was not only ample space, but ample privacy and freedom to move about independently without disturbing anyone else. The courtyard is gorgeous. Check in and out are super easy. The kitchen has everything you'd ever need. Gloria and her family are beyond friendly -- if you can, eat some of the guava... it's literally the best I've ever had. The location is safe, convenient, clean, cozy, comfortable -- all the things you want. Cannot wait to come back and cannot recommend highly enough.
Thank you, Gloria and fam! :)
