We had high hopes but found ourselves disappointed for the length of our stay. A pair of dirty underwear was next to the hair dryer when we arrived, so we felt major regret for booking this place. They took care of it as soon as we told them, but it’s hard to not feel gross during your stay when that’s the first thing you find. We were exhausted when arriving from a lot of travel, so we didn’t have it in us to go through the headache of finding a new airbnb. Also, they don’t mention this in their description, but it is actually really difficult to get Lyfts or Ubers to come get you from this house, since it is so far up the hill from the main village area. We had multiple drivers cancel on us and really struggled to get into town because no one wanted to make the far trip up to get us. Also 3 of our drivers (when we finally got them) got lost in the confusing streets around the house, which was so frustrating. It is secluded, so keep that in mind, and remember that it will be difficult to get food or takeout. Also we asked for ice and to use a microwave (when we finally got food) and the answers were no to both (understandable since those things are in the main house, but frustrating nonetheless because we didn’t have great ways to do meals). I don’t know how often the pools are cleaned, but yes they were both a little dirty (which I saw in a previous review). It wasn’t horrible but it was kinda gross in some areas. I guess pools are hard to keep free of hair and debris unless you clean them often. Sometimes we could enjoy the pool alone but a few times the other guests in the cabana blasted annoying music or ran past us to do a cannonball, so it wasn’t fully relaxing like we had hoped.
Pros of the stay were that the view is beautiful, the public trail near the house is scenic, and the hot tub was nice for our tired feet. The mattress seemed to be memory foam and was extra comfortable. The host was responsive to texts quickly.
