Brenda’s place is awesome - a cozy little compound nestled in the rainforest. It felt like I got all the scenery and connections to nature that you get with camping, but with all the amenities and comforts of a well-stocked and well-taken care of home. The bedroom was comfortable and clean, and it was nice to fall sleep to the sound of the frogs and rain.
What truly makes this place wonderful, though, is Brenda’s remarkable hospitality. She is by far the best Airbnb host I’ve ever had: responsive, caring, welcoming, competent. I had some wonderful conversations with Brenda and enjoyed the company of her neighbors, who came to play games one night. Brenda asked me to make myself at home, was made sure I was well fed, and supplied fresh papayas and bananas each morning. Brenda’s place truly feels like home, and I will definitely be staying here again if I come back to the area!
