The condo has a fantastic location close to the beach so we pretty much spent all days there. It's also across the street from the best restaurant (IMHO) in the area GGs (amazing happy hour). Overall we are very happy with the trip and Jose was always friendly when we contacted him, however here are a few things that could have made trip be 5 stars vs. 4.
I did feel there was too much penny pinching going around, us having to pay for every little aspect. Sure, I should have known that we need to pay extra for towels and $40 was not unreasonable for 5 days - ALTHOUGH if I pay for this service I would expect it to work like clockwork so I would not have to contact the host every other day because the towels were either late or did not arrive. Cleaning is an additional $99 (for each cleaning!), which I think is rather exorbitant for a studio IMO. Due to this we ended up cleaning ourselves, which is not a big deal - yet if the price was a bit more reasonable (say $40 per occasion) I would definitely have opted for cleaning service at least once.
Also, there were a number of small things that bothered us. It would have been very easy for the host to have addressed the following:
1. 3 toilet rolls for 6 days is not sufficient. We had to go buy our own, which left a sour taste.
2. 2 tiny bar soaps is not nearly enough. Same thing with shampoo and conditioner.
3. If you advertise a coffee maker, at least leave a few pods for our use. I could not even find a note of what brand/type to get ...
The above could have been provided at very little cost to the host. It would have left us happier and simplified our stay (e.g. not having to go to store late in the evening to buy new toilet paper).
