I had a great experience staying in the guest house at the back of Rita's property. I stayed for two weeks. The room: A nice size for my purposes. Fits two easily. Three would require you to pull the trundle bed into the walking space I think. The room was stuffy and uncomfortable most of the day, but there is a private-ish patio and of course the pool. The kitchen has utensils, pots, dishes, gas stove, oven, toaster oven, and large minifridge with freezer. There is no microwave because Rita believes they are unhealthy. She doesn't even use that kitchen though, so I would think letting the guests choose whether or not they want to microwave their food would be more polite than deciding for people. After working hard all day, I was so tired all I wanted was to warm up my leftovers and crawl into bed. Hard to do that without a microwave. If I do stay again, I might try staying in a guest room inside the house where there is hopefully more ventilation. However, just the lack of a microwave will probably be a deal breaker for me. The host: Rita is a very experienced host. She was ready with sheets, extra keys, trash bags, etc, when I asked for them. Rita loves being an airbnb host. She likes to make friends with every person that stays at her house. She collects them like a bee collects honey. She was more interactive than any host I've stayed with before, asking me often to go out shopping or for a meal, or stopping by my room to chat. This is probably a nice thing by most guests standards. It certainly serves what Rita wants. But I was so tired with my work that I was not interested in being good company. Hopefully she didn't mind me turning her down too much. If you are single, she might even try to play matchmaker with you. Lucky me that I'm not single. I was grateful, however, in that I was able to tag along with her to the grocery store and farmers market. She even brought me a snack during a stressful evening of work, and she made dinner for all the guests one evening. She is a very good cook. No wonder she doesn't have a microwave! Rita loves to talk on the phone instead of using airbnb messages (although she does that too). There was a misunderstanding about the extra fee for an additional guest, and I ended up having to pay a few extra hundred dollars for the room at the last minute. The misunderstanding was my fault, but it happened because we had talked on the phone and I had no written record of the conversation. I guess I got confused. Learn from my mistake and get everything in writing for later reference. No slight against Rita there, that is simply good advice for everyone in any business transaction. Rita was enormously helpful in finding...
