The positives: good location, quiet, cute decor, comfortable master bed and ample sunlight.
The negatives:
Previous reviewers were correct when they said that the place needs some investment in upgrades. Some of the windows had broken handles and didn’t close fully. And the window sills hadn’t been dusted in a long time.
Here are the difficulties we encountered:
1. When we arrived for 3pm check in the house cleaner pulled up alongside us. We had to stand outside being bitten by mosquitos for a half hour while she cleaned.
2. I had to have the property manager call a handyman on two separate occasions because of a stripped handle in the shower that wouldn’t turn on the hot water. This was a big inconvenience as I had to go to appointments without showering first.
3. The third time I had to contact the owner on the fifth day the shower drain was blocked and water was spilling onto the floor. I had to use our remaining towels to sop it up. I told the owner that I would like a partial credit back for these inconveniences and he said he was unable to do that. He wouldn’t even honor the request for more towels.
It’s a shame. It could be a nice place. And this is the only bad review that I’ve ever had to write on this site.
