Before I get into the horrors of this place, I’ll recognize the good things we found in staying here. The location is perfect. Easily walkable to beach, bus stops, biki bike slots and restaurants. The check-in and check out was also very easy and when we had issues we were able to get in touch with the host within a reasonable time frame.
Now for the bad:
1) the door knob gets stuck and it’s really frustrating spending 3 minutes fiddling with it every time you want to leave the room bc you can’t lock it or can’t even open it. It was hard to tell if the actual knob was locked from the outside because it kept getting stuck so we just made sure we used the deadbolt every time.
2) the second bed/cot was stored under the main bed in a garbage bag and it smelled like wet dog. We opened the bag to find dog hair all over the it and the blankets that went with it.
3) within the first hour of arriving my sister picked up a “clean” wash cloth off the rack to find hair shavings on the inside of it.
4) around the 3rd day of our trip, we found a living crawling cockroach in the closet.
5) there’s a 6-way extension cord plugged into another 6-way and the tv, microwave, fridge, and wifi are all running on the same circuit. Not sure if the electric is run different in these condos but I’d never allow that in my house for fear of blowing a fuse. This is a legitimate safety issue.
We messaged the host about the roach and washcloth issues and when we returned back to the place the housekeeper left some roach spray, roach traps, and clean washcloths in the room.
Overall i would not go back and I would not recommend this place. We actually started looking for hotels to switch to after seeing the roach (as if the dog smell and the hair shavings in the wash cloth weren’t bad enough). The best thing about it was that it was so bad that we wanted to spend as little time there as possible, so we got to do a significant amount of things.
