This space is very clean, with a very comfortable bed and good amenities. The photos are accurate and the check in was easy and communication was clear throughout. The house is right next to other houses, however, it was quiet in the evening and the morning and we had no trouble sleeping without an AC. The space is close to some restaurants, but a bit far from the beach and the main area with restaurants without a car. We kind of wished we were a bit closer to the beach so we could walk more easily, it took about 25 minutes up and down a hill to get to the shore. The provided boogie boards were much appreciated to use in the water! We were overall happy with the space and would recommend it to someone who is not looking for a space on the water.
However, I was disappointed when we were getting ready for check out and asked for a little extra time. Our flight wasn't until later in the afternoon, so I asked if we could store our bags for a little bit and unfortunately, that wasn't an option. When I asked for an extra hour for check out, I got no response and instead, the cleaning crew arrived 10 minutes before our check out, standing outside the door, making us feel completely rushed. This was after I got a check out message asking us to give them a five star review and let them know privately of any issues we had. It felt so corporate and not like the connective experience that Airbnb usually is.
I understand that it's not always possible to accommodate guests requests like ours, but the early arrival of the cleaners, coupled with the underhanded message not to share any issues about the space is what has disappointed me about Airbnb's that are managed by large companies- the personal connection isn't there and the small supports, like storing bags, is no longer possible. We actually met John while he was cleaning his pool behind the place (it's attached to his home) and he was very kind, however, he does not manage the Airbnb, this company with Zeina and Mo do.
