Dora greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of the guesthouse upon arrival. She and her son, Ricardo, were attentive and responded quickly to our questions during our stay. They were always ready to offer assistance, even when it was late into the night. We noticed that the interior of the mini fridge was warm on the second day and when we voiced our concern, Dora and Ricardo were swift to act. They replaced the mini fridge with a spare fridge shortly after we contacted them about it. The new fridge worked fine throughout the rest of the week we were there.
This is a lovely guesthouse. It is spacious, clean and has many windows (including a skylight above the tub!) that let in plenty of natural light; dark curtains/blinds make it convenient for those who prefer to sleep in. The tub/shower/washroom/walk-in-closet area was well stocked with essentials and there was a lot of space for us to store our personal items. The bed was just wonderful. We were able to sleep comfortably every night with ease. Next to the left nightstand is a window that faces a secluded part of Dora's garden which we had opened almost every day. The sight, sounds and floral smells of her garden were very pleasant. The garden could also be accessed through the patio, which was beautifully set up and located on the left just as you enter the bedroom. The living room and kitchen were cozy and although the stove only had two burners, we were able to cook a nice meal and managed just fine. Parking was in front of the property on the right side of a large, two-car driveway. There is a tall, latched gate that separates the parking space from the guesthouse; beyond this is an elegant pathway, lined with beautiful potted succulents, that leads to the separate entrance to the guesthouse all of which allow for more privacy.
Dora's guesthouse was functional and aesthetically pleasing--perfect for a cozy and romantic getaway. We would definitely book this place again! Thank you Dora and Ricardo for everything!
