Brianna is an amazing host who put up with a lot of unexpected uncertainties that came up on my end. I appreciated her flexiblity and responsiveness.
This was our first time at this property, and I came into it not realizing it's the type of property made to accommodate guests for longer stays. We were joining a friends staying in a 1 BR, and the difference between the 1 BR villa and the guest room/studio offered here was huge. In the studio, we had a sink, dining table, microwave, mini fridge and coffee maker. Without a kitchen it didn't really make a whole lot of sense to have all of that, in my opinion. The dining table and chairs ended up taking a lot of space. Our friend's 1 BR, in comparison, was probably 4 times bigger than the studio we had. Also, we reserved an ocean view room but had a direct view of the pool and mountains with a sliver of ocean viewable from one side of the small balcony. (I called the front desk upon check in about this and was told my only other option was a ground floor room.) The 1 BR my friend had, in comparison, was considered an island view but had a pretty expansive view of the ocean on one side. We were also given a handicapped accessible room next to the stairwell door that banged shut throughout the night, and we could hear our neighbors next door very easily.
All in all, I would rent from Brianna again anytime but not for a studio here and not for ocean view.
