We booked the condo because the listing described it as “one of the quietest on the island”, which was our #1 requirement as we have a baby and toddler who are light nappers . The listing was inaccurate: host did not mention that the neighboring unit was undergoing a “full renovation for 3 months,” per the construction worker I saw everyday. The extremely loud and constant hammering/drilling/sawing was Monday through Friday, so unless you’re looking for that I wouldn’t book until November when construction is (maybe) done. We had to escape the noise every day and couldn’t stay in condo during daytime. Workers also took frequent cigarette breaks nearby, so expect the smell of smoke. Our kids were sleep deprived our whole trip because they couldn’t nap.
Overall unit was fairly clean, but there is an infestation of tiny bugs in kitchen cupboards and counters that run around very fast. We also saw a cockroach second night we were there.
Condo itself is remodeled, but furniture is considerably older, especially the couch.
You also need to take time out of your vacay to shop for your own dishwasher/washing machine detergent, as not enough is provided. For example, host only provided a ziplock with 3 laundry detergent pods for our 10 day stay, but you need all of them just to wash the towels according to house rules (2 for the larger quantity of white towels, 1 for colored towels which host requires you to wash separate from whites).
Furninishings were overall acceptable, but a few were not functioning: air conditioning remotes, clocks, lamps.
