Let’s start with the good. Our host was very responsive and accommodating to our request. The house was very spacious and served well for a party of 13.
The not so good. There were no dishtowels in the kitchen, no hand soap in bathrooms, no cleaning supplies and not enough towels for the number of guest. This is not something that you should have to buy when traveling. Three of the window blinds in the bedroom downstairs were broken where someone could see into the bedroom from outside and the casitas window did not have a screen on it. There were no instructions inside the home (as with other residences) and many light switches downstairs were unmarked. None of the light switches in the casitas were marked and one of them turned the AC on and off. Many electrical plugs throughout the house did not work.
The kitchen and bathrooms were partially cleaned. The tile on the floor in the upstairs bathroom was loose. None of the electrical sockets worked in the bathroom upstairs, including the master bathroom. And, you had to go through one bedroom to get to the master bedroom which is not ideal for privacy for either room. The plug-ins were all used and not replaced. The electrical sockets in the kitchen, left of the refrigerator were not working and in the casitas, there was a large hole on the outside of the closet door. I sent a picture of it to the host and he responded with, “would you like maintenance to repair it now or fix it after you leave?” It should have been repaired before we arrived so I opted for after we leave because most of us had just arrived and a lot of things were happening. Lastly, the house is advertised as having a pool table and is pictured along with other things throughout the house. Our visit was to celebrate our uncle’s birthday and he selected the house because it was advertised as having a pool table which it DID NOT have. Needless to say, our uncle was very disappointed by this.
Although we enjoyed spending time with family under one roof and made it work, I will not book at this location again.
