This was not a great experience. We were notified 1 month before travel that the balcony may be closed for repairs. When we arrived, it was indeed closed and there were minimal views to the ocean because of all the equipment and furniture on the balcony. We immediately reached out to the host and were told that she contacted the construction company and the project should complete in 2 days. When it did not complete in 2 days we reached back out multiple times and did not receive any additional responses the entire time we were there. The balcony remained closed for our entire 9 day trip.
When we booked the place 8 months prior, one of the main reasons we did so was the balcony and ocean view. When we expressed that there should be some discount applied to the price, $150 was offered for a meal. It was too bad that the construction happened to be during our stay, but the host not being willing to make it right and the complete lack of communication was very disappointing.
The place was clean but somewhat dated. Bathroom ceiling had broken tiles where you could see into it while in the shower. The place also needs an exterminator as there were bugs on the kitchen counter every day and one day we woke up there was a large cockroach on the bedroom floor.
All in all the way the issue was handled left a bad taste in our mouth and would not recommend staying here.
