We booked this location last minute as our other Airbnb fell through last minute and we had nowhere to go.
Ricardo was very responsive and was even able to get us in earlier than the check-in time that was on the listing. Although we do appreciate Ricardo's flexibility with being able to accommodate us last minute, there were still a few things that I wish were different about our stay. I'll try to keep it brief by listing the pros and cons about our entire stay.
Pros:
The pool stayed busy, however every time we went we didn't have an issue getting chairs to lay out on. The gym windows also overlooks the pool area so we were able to work out while the kids played in the pool:)
Very flexible with last minute communication with booking
Walking distance from the beach
Over looks the waterfront, beautiful no matter what time of day it is
Very spacious
Quiet for the most part (we did have some people stomping above us our last night but hardly noticeable)
Outside balcony is VERY large with lots of seating! (this unit is also at the end so there is a lot of privacy as well)
Walking distance to Padrino's (Cuban Restaurant that is tasty!) and of course Walmart
Washer/Dryer in unit (but bring your own soap:)
Cons:
Elevator is what others have said in terms of the wait. You're better off taking the stairs as waiting for an elevator might just make you late to the place you are trying to go to.
Linens were dirty-mattress cover, actual comforter and the sheets:( The master bedroom had stains that appeared to be there from the last stay and weren't replaced. (We requested for them to be replaced, they replaced the sheets and mattress cover but not the comforter, which made a good nights sleep not so good:(
Carpets had stains throughout but not a deal-breaker
Communication started to fall off was we were booked-as the days went on, Ricardo's responses back to our issues were less and less
Kitchen is very limited (just provides the basic dishes, cups, and utensils)-nothing extra
The pictures did create somewhat of a false illusion. There aren't "throw blankets or decoration pillows" on any of the beds and some of the decor isn't there like it is in the pictures. (not a deal breaker but something we thought would be that extra nice touch on things)
