Unfortunately, I did not have a cozy experience at Bibi’s casita. After a long flight, I arrived to the casita for check-in and I couldn’t find the key’s security lock box after following Bibi’s directions. I was searching around the house with a flashlight and worried that the neighbors would be disturbed or think I was trespassing. Once I finally found the lock box behind Bibi’s charging automobile, I entered the lock box code only to find that there was no key in the lock box. So, after 20 minutes of trying to check myself in, I had to contact Bibi for assistance. Bibi appeared to be frustrated because I needed assistance and that I had someone there helping me with my luggage. She let me into the casita and the first thing that I saw was a bath towel for a welcome matt. Needless to say, the whole check-in process was not welcoming.

The casita itself was not comfortable. The mattresses are small, old, and the springs were going into my back. To get to the kitchen area, you have 2 options: exit the casita and use the outdoor stairs, or use a dangerous ladder staircase from within the casita. I would advise not using the dangerous ladder option inside as Bibi mentioned that she has already experienced issues with previous guests using it.
3 hours after check-in and after going out for some dinner, I thought about it some more and decided that I would just return to the casita to get my bags, check out, and just rent a hotel.
My recommendation to both the host and future guests: “You can do better.”
