What you see is what you get - a lovely little home that’s comfortable for 2-3 people. What you don’t see from the listing is how hospitable the owner is. Bryan is on point with his communication and thoughtfulness. When we checked out, he even waited for us without letting his presence be known and didn’t rush us past the check-out time to return the keys.
Upon arrival, Bryan greeted us, gave us a tour of his home, handed us the keys, and even went out straightaway to fix a broken lightbulb. His home was fully furnished with everything we needed, even had brand new in-package toothbrushes, toothpaste, and toilet deodorizer spray (like poo~pourri)!
The house was very clean and the beds were surprisingly comfortable too. It is a duplex but you get one side of it all to yourself and the other half is fenced off. The neighborhood, I will say, is quite lively (at least when we were there). We didn’t mind it since we were used to it. Thanks to that we gained a bit of insight and words of wisdom from the sage, Bryan, himself: “When there are little babies running around and behaving like kids - playing in the streets, laughing, hitting each other, that’s when you know it’s a safe place. Because kids are the first ones to react so if they’re scared, then you know something’s wrong.”
I definitely recommend this place as an affordable option near the airport but not too far from everything else.
