Nice place, but we weren’t as impressed as we thought we’d be based on the pictures and listing description. The place felt “older” than the pictures implied. There was no microwave or dryer (even though a dryer was listed in amenities).
The towels were very stiff and uncomfortable, and the bedding didn’t “feel” clean. Good bedding and soft towels were our basic expectations and we were let down.
The back door to the deck didn’t lock. We didn’t bother mentioning it to Mohamed, the caretaker, but it did make us feel a little unsafe. We also found it strange you need a key to GET OUT of the house. The front door and front gate are key-locked from both the inside and outside. Weird. European thing?
The master bathroom had bulbs out. Really? The master bath shower was extremely difficult to turn on and off. Very disappointing to have to deal with on a daily basis. I had to turn the shower on for my wife every day.
No paper towels. Maybe that’s an American thing, but we expected at least 1 roll. We also ran out of toilet paper by day 2, and there were only 4 of us.
Old food (leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap) were left in the fridge, which made us wonder how well this place is cleaned between guests.
Location was great. Views were great. However, the beach was a much further walk than we expected from the listing.
Maybe the windy and rainy weather made us a little more nit picky about the place, since we spent a lot of time in the house. Also, we don’t AirBNB much, so we have hotel-level expectations.
