The location of this booking was beautiful. It was walking distance to a lovely beach, ~15 min away from a shopping center, ~5 min away from a gas station, and about ~30 minutes away from recreational locations (surf lessons, whale watching, other nearby beautiful beaches). We were happy with the surrounding area of the booking.
As for the experience with the stay: there were several things that could have easily been addressed prior to hosting guests. For example, more time should be invested in making sure that the furniture won't fall apart. A chair randomly broke while my dad was sitting on it and the first thing the host responded with was "did you take a picture of the chair?" rather than asking if he was ok. Thankfully he wasn’t seriously injured but that was kind of thoughtless.
Despite that and a few other maintenance issues, we had a good time as the location, surrounding areas, and views (ocean and countryside views) vastly outweighed those experiences.
