The place was super close to the beach and with the convenience of being close to restaurants. The bedroom was comfortable, we slept well. The living room looks good.
There was a water leak in the electrical closet and when I brought it up to Frank's attention, he responded very quickly, we do appreciate that, although it took 2 days to fix it.
We also noticed/felt sand or dust on the floor upon entering, so we assumed it wasn't mopped (properly).
There were ants in the living area and kitchen, so can't leave food items on the table.
We felt most of the items had been used for their life and needed to be replaced and/or definitely could be of better quality for the price (cutlery, knives had rust spots on them, towels were clearly showing that they have been used extensively, beach chairs were worn and torn, toilet paper was of cheap quality, AC in the living was so loud that we couldn't sit there for more than an hour with AC on, etc)
There were two shower heads in the shower, but the pressure was so low that it would take us almost double the normal time to shower. For the first 2 days, there was no hot water in the shower, until we requested and Frank had it fixed.
We also requested an early check-in (luggage drop) and were prompted for a 50 USD fee for 2 hours earlier check-in. The host could have been courteous to accommodate such requests. Sometimes it's not in the host's hands to accommodate because of the cleaning schedule and such, and we understand that, but then we also expect the place to be clean, calm, and up to the standards.
Overall, we were expecting a far better stay for the price.
