Michelle doesnt live on the island. however there is Gloria who is really lovely and helpful with everything! we had a great time staying there! you will definately need a car though.... as the house is in the middle of nowhere and i found all the mosquitos a bit annoying .... we brought our 2 year old Son with us and it was all good for him. we also really enjoyed the almonds, figs, lemons and herbs from the garden! Thank you very much!
