Good points (pros): We loved the location and the home. There were peacock, cats, chickens and roosters walking around the property and it was beautiful. The cats and birds don’t bother you when you walk by but love to have their picture taken and they seem to get along. The area felt like you were staying in a botanical garden. There were so many different trees when you stepped outside to the balcony. We had our coffee on the balcony each morning and could see the mountain and a small area of the ocean. We were able to cook our breakfast and prepare food to take with us for the day. Just a quick note, this is not a negative thing but you should be know there are 20 steps to get into the home so pack light and leave things in the car if you rented a car. There is also a public bus stop which will take you into town and to other towns. There were people taking the bus to go to work in the morning. The process to get on and off the properly was smooth, there is a security person there checking everyone in and out. We did not use the pool. There are places to have a BBQ with grills and tables outside. Parking was simple to find. I would recommend this place to others and Penny answered her phone immediately when we had some issues.
Not so good points (cons): We arrived late evening around 9-10 PM and was not able to get into the apartment because the lock did not work properly. We had to wait 30-45 minutes so that someone who worked for Penny (the host) could open the door for us. The person arrived about 20-25 minutes after we contacted the host Penny but he could not open the door and we were extremely tired from our long trip. The person continued to work on the lock until after 15 minutes later he was able to open the door. Once he opened the door, the issues was not resolved and could not be resolved until the next morning which cut into our excursions, the battery on the door had to be changed. There was an issue with the coffee pot and the issue was resolved immediately, which was great. We would have given this place 5 stars but the lock issue could not go unnoticed.
