First I would like to highlight the positive things. The swimming pool is really big for this kind of house. Also the beds and pillows was amazing and guarantee a great rest. The barbecue is great and really easy to manage. Each room has a bathroom. Also I would like to highlight the location, is great being able to walk to the town Center and have a beer or a cup or coffee in the large amount of bars and restaurants are there.
On the negative side I have to say that the house isn’t prepare for long stays (I have been for one month) Rosa also is very clear and you can see in another review she don’t understand why we cook there or why we work there.
I spent there one month and we are a Family including one baby and one kid.
Main issues has been,
We didn’t have hot water for 3 days, basically the problem is that Rosa has a solar generator for the hot water so for the cloudy days you can’t expect have hot water, the lack of empathy of Rosa with it has been horrible as imagine with a baby in the house how I was feeling. SHe didn’t have a solution and just the sun shining was fixing the situation.
The house isn’t individual, Rosa leaves downstairs and the lack of privacy is there. Also she didn’t highlight this aspect. As you can imagine carry with the baby stroller and all its apparel upstairs every day was very annoying . I wasn’t aware of that and Rosa didn’t share when we was negotiating the stay.
Internet doesn’t work, as Rosa told me “I want just people isn’t in the house but visiting the island, this house is not prepare for working here dear” this is true, but she didn’t share at the time of negotiating the stay. She ensured internet connection was in a good shape.
The kitchen is ok but the extraction isn’t great so the smoke alarm gets on very often, it is really annoying. Also the equipment isn’t great. When I arrived to the house there wasn’t any bottled water( in the island you need it) to drink, clean products or wc paper.
When we was sharing with Rosa those issues. Specially regarding hot water or internet the communication was awful and Rosa was really defensive, however Airbnb did a great job supporting us in the process so we could finish the stay.
At the end of the stay Rosa was asking for additional money for electricity spend arguing we used the washing machine every day. She asked for additional 100 euros, as it wasn’t in the contract I refuse to pay it but I paid the air conditioning spend as it was already agreed.
To summarise the main point of this house,
Doesn’t have guaranteed hot water, internet doesn’t work and it isn’t an individual house but you must live with Rosa and her family downstairs. Good for short stays or people is not going to spend in the house a lot of time but visiting the island.also good for people needing one bathroom per room as it is very unique in this kind of houses. Not prepare for families with babies, long stays or people with internet connection needs.
Also the communication with Rosa was awful generally speaking.
I really wish to forget this horrible experience ASAP
