Overall, Diana Elena's space provided what was needed at the time; a bed to sleep in close to the airport before having a morning flight home the following day.
3 points of stress during our stay (and pre-stay) that I think are noteworthy were:
1) A lack of response to messages with pertinent questions pre-check in. I had sent 3-5 messages in the 2 weeks previous to arrival, and did not get any response until the day before our check-in. When we arrived and had a 3rd person with us (an addition I inquired about in my previous messages), it was difficult to negotiate this with the host as there was an unexpected language barrier (my 2 friends and I speak English and I believe the host's first language is Spanish). This led to us spending more money than what it was worth to add one more person to our room.
The day before checking in, I requested an early evening check in, as we were driving from Utah to Vegas and wanted to do some biking along the way. The response I got was that there would be someone to open the door for us at 11:50am (I think that was the time; something oddly precise in the morning). This meant we had to halt our biking plans and rush our drive.
2) The complimentary breakfast left much to be desired; dry cereal and powdered milk, 1 dry piece of toast + 1 slice of ham + 1 over easy egg (mine came with 1/2 an eggshell in it..). The warm breakfast was also 20 minutes late, which was stressful as we had a flight to catch and one of the main reasons we chose Diana's place was that the included breakfast meant we didn't have to stop for breakfast en-route to the airport or eat at the airport.
3) The 3 of us felt quite scrutinized by the older man who checked us in..as we packed our bikes into our travel bags in the backyard he watched us the entire time, not saying anything. Then moved indoors but still to a place where he could still see us. Perhaps he was curious about bike-travellers..?perhaps it was an age-related behaviour as we are all in our early 30's and maybe he thought we were youth and not to be trusted?... whatever the case, it did not make us feel very welcome.
Again, I think that if a language -barrier didn't exist, we could have all communicated our needs/feelings more accurately and the stay would have been more enjoyable.
