For the most part i enjoyed my stay at Casita Adams. The space is decorated nicely with good natural light and a great layout. Parking was always easy to find and the neighborhood seemed pretty chill. If I had any concerns, I was grateful that Marc addressed them within a timely manner.
The one thing that I didn’t bring up as an issue and made staying here not as pleasant as it could have been, is that there was construction happening the entire month of my stay minus the first couple of days. It didn’t bother me much at first but then it became a bit annoying for a couple of reasons.
I had to choose between privacy or good light in my room. A lot of the light came in from the two long windows with curtains facing the neighbors backyard where a lot of the construction was happening. So if I had my curtains open, then the workers could see into my space.
Then there’s the other obvious reason which is the noise. Luckily I had a family‘s house nearby that I could do work at during the day but I was lucky to have a place to go given that it’s pandemic times and most cafés and closed. Had I not had that option it would’ve made my experience even worse.
I think part of this could’ve been solved with communication. I think it would’ve been appropriate to warn a guest that this was going to be their experience before moving in. I saw other Airbnb‘s listing that there was construction in the information and that the rent would be discounted because of it.
Besides this my experience was pretty good. And I imagine that by now or soon the construction will be over and most people won’t have to deal with this issue. However, it was a big part of my experience so it feels worth mentioning.
With all that said I do think it was a lovely place and I do recommend staying here, but it can’t hurt to make sure construction isn’t happening during your stay before you book the place if that’s a concern for you.
