The hosts themselves were great! They communicated with us before our trip, responded to any questions very quickly and were so kind. They stocked the place with plenty of snacks and drinks for us. The place was clean and tidy, and the bed was super comfortable. I liked that we had keypad access rather than a key. The location was fantastic. The zoo was less than a 20 minute drive away, and the beach was less than 10 minutes away. It really was just what we needed!
We do have a couple of complaints, however. This is a garage that was converted into a studio. The layout is just fine, but there are only 2 tiny AC vents, one of which is in the restroom. We were not prepared for that, being that it is the middle of summer My husband and I are used to keeping our living space quite cool, and we have no control over the temperature in the studio. It was too hot for our liking, and it made sleeping pretty miserable for us, even with the fans provided on high. We left the window open our whole stay to help, but this had its own disadvantage: the neighbor's dog barking bright and early in the morning. Our first morning, this dog woke us up at 7am and the dog barked for 20 minutes straight. The second morning, the dog started barking just after 6am, and barked for at least 15 minutes straight.
Those really were the only two issues we had. Everything else really was great. Those things may not bother other people as much as they bothered us, but I feel like they are things we definitely wish we would have known before staying there.
