Julie did make an attempt to check in with us, which was nice. But she came in on the first day (after we left) to turn off the air conditioning and a light we'd left on. She then wrote us to request that we only use the air and lights when in the space. This was a challenge because we wanted it to be cool enough to sleep comfortably at night and it took a while to cool the space down after it heated up during the day.

It was also a bit weird that she'd gone in without us there. We ended up offering a compromise - for her to turn the air-conditioner on again around dinner time so that when we came back, it would be cool. She went back and forth with my husband about energy costs until we were so frustrated that my husband said, "We are paying you to stay here, including the air-conditioning." I offered to find a new place if she wanted to refund our remaining days. We ended up staying, but it was awkward.

The place itself was not walking distance from anything (coffee, beach etc.) The closet smelled like a sweaty man's armpit and the lights flicked on and off randomly. I told Julie about the lights and she both admitted that another guest had mentioned the lights and then told my husband that she'd hung around in there for a while and the lights didn't flicker for her.

The place itself was comfortable and pretty clean but we will definitely stay elsewhere next time.
