This is in a good location. The picture with the pool looks like it is right next to the casita but the pool is down an incline and behind the place. We were instructed to park on the street and we walked down the driveway beside the main house and let ourselves into the big iron gate where there is a lot of storage of tools/bikes/wagons, etc. It gave us pause because it looked untidy and was full of leaves and dirt. There are chickens and cats as stated in the description, but didn't realize we would be walking among them right at the casita :). They didn't bother us though. We were more put off by the storage area and the back patio behind the main house being very unkempt with a pile of dirty laundry and lots of cleaning tools - brooms, mops scattered around. When we got inside we liked the decor. It is cute and eclectic. We found the bed comfortable and the sheets were clean (we really checked due to finding other things dirty in the place). Others have mentioned great water pressure - it is strong but the hot water ran out on the first shower so we had to wait before the other could get in. The disappointing findings were related to lack of cleanliness. The floors were dirty. There was an odd orange powdery stain on the couch. In the kitchen - the fridge wasn't clean and had multiple opened condiments that looked old. There were crumbs and such inside the kitchen cabinets with a half loaf of bread, an open box of spaghetti as well as other open items inside. The dishwasher was full of dishes (don't know if they were clean or not), the coffee pot had used coffee grinds still inside (!!), and we had to wash the wine glasses before use due to smudges and wine stains. In fact, we washed anything we used before using it because we felt that it might not be clean.
The host did not meet us when we arrived but was quick to respond and bring blankets when we asked. Overall this place has the potential to be really nice. Not sure how it got such high ratings because we cannot in all honesty and fairness rate it so well. We would recommend making sure it's really clean. We do not feel we got a good value due to the issues we encountered. Unfortunately, we will not look to come back nor can we recommend it to friends, but hopefully it will be a better experience for the next guest.
