The house is accurately portrayed in the photos and description. Unfortunately, our stay was marred by a terrible check-in experience, some of which was within the host’s control and some which wasn’t. Despite my requests for all the necessary information for our smooth arrival, we were given no information other than a photo of a flower pot where the keys were located. Turns out, the flower pot was behind the house and in order to get to it, you had to take the elevator up, reach around the door to unlatch it, go behind the house to a small window, etc. I had requested clear instructions due to the fact that we were travelling for the first time with our 10 month old daughter and knew we’d be stressed after a long journey at night. In addition to struggling to get into the house, we came to find out that the baby bed was not set up for our daughter as requested and with no instructions, we ended up struggling for quite a while to figure out how to set it up. All of this was within the hosts control. What wasn’t- that apparently the air conditioning broke the day we were meant to arrive. Uta had no idea how long it would take to get fixed and there was confusion over whether it would get fixed at all. We requested fans in the interim and these were not offered to us. This left us with rooms that were 32-36 degrees in temperature at night with air-tight external shutters as the only way of blocking light into the babies room.
Thankfully the air conditioning was fixed after four days but the fact that a few fans weren’t offered left a bad taste in our mouths. We enjoyed the pool (though it’s quite cold for a little baby) and the house is well equipped. Note that there are no curtains (only electric blinds) so if you’re trying to darken the bedroom for a baby to sleep in you will need to lower the blinds completely (and use the air conditioning- hopefully it will be working - to avoid the room overheating during the day). Beware of mosquitoes (at night) and ants (despite our best effort to keep all areas clear of food).
