I was disappointed with the first impression. The photos are bright and light but the room is actually dark with very little natural light and poor artificial light due to lack of lighted bulbs. Outside lighting was more of a problem since there was no light outside my door and little lighting along the path which had a lot of tree roots and occasionally dog poo. The gates barely latched much less locked and my door seemed very flimsy with a home made cutout. I soon learned that this is a very nice, safe neighborhood so I was less concerned about the security. There were certainly things I didn’t like, but the amazing location makes up for a lot!
A short walk to the beach, close to a bus stop, and several nice little coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Everything you want for a short stay is here. The hosts were very accommodating about dropping off my luggage before check in, and they responded quickly when I had a few questions.
I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb places, and this isn’t the best but the delightful location makes this a perfectly adequate place for a short stay.
