We did not see the host, but she welcomed us with a nice bottle of wine in the fridge. Access was simple and easy, and we had no issues requiring her attention. The house is in a pleasant and quiet residential neighborhood, and there is access to a private beach. The house was very clean and well provided. We stayed in Dec, and the weather was sunny, but quite cool, so we did not take full advantage of the extensive and pleasant outdoor and garden space at the house, but loved the greenhouse roof. House is easy walking to shops, beach, restaurants, etc, which we enjoyed doing. Would definitely return.
