Some things I would have liked to know before booking/staying:
- lights went off by 11pm, which is described - but I didn't think that through and realize it also included wifi and water
- we were woken (by noise upstairs) daily at 6am when their day starts
- there’s satellite reception with lots of channels but a tiny little tv
- the dogs barked continually when Christine was out, the coqui frogs sang all night (which was mostly enjoyable but definitely loud) and the loud water pump came on with each turn of a tap.
- cooking facilities are currently (Feb 2014) an electric griddle and a toaster oven. We showed up ingredients for our dinner and found we couldn't cook it (Christine did allow us to cook upstairs but only that evening). We had hoped to prepare all our own meals but couldn’t.
- the floor is concrete and it’s stained, dirty, greasy and unpainted. There’s a few throw rugs but plan to wear shoes the whole time.
- the bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Christine was pleasant and gave us activity suggestions, and has plans for better cooking facilities. I'm sure it will be more liveable once finished.
