We really loved the property and the neighborhood. And Marie Helene and her mother Rosealba were friendly and accommodating. The living room was bigger than it appeared on the photos as was the very private terrace between the living room and the bedrooms. A couple things to inform prospective guests: there are no laundry facilities available onsite - a laundromat is less than 10 mins away. There is no dishwasher and the fridge is quite small without a real freezer. The house has a bit of mustiness but that disappeared rapidly upon opening the windows/doors. Finally, the pool is not heated (at least in winter) but Marie will gladly turn on the hot tub for you if you text her. It takes about 45 minutes to get heated up. We took advantage of the easy to operate grill one night. It is probably the preferable area to do serious cooking. The grill area is lighted, has a sink etc.
Would we stay here again? Absolutely.
