Everything was amazing! Check in and parking (street parking) was quick and easy. Lots of restaurants, bars, and the beach within walking distance. We stayed in the Garnet room and it was more than enough room for two people.

The room was clean and it was easy to get to. It was a fairly basic room and bathroom with all the necessities. It is close to a beach and a large park which was nice. If you need somewhere to sleep and wash up it will do the job.

The directions were concise and easy to follow. The room is clean and well stocked with what you would normally find in a small rental with kitchenette. We just had an overnight stay so did not experience any extra amenities offered or interactions with the host.

the rooms were good, but the remotes for the tv and the air conditioners did not work well and there were not enough towels in the bathrooms. Also, the host said we could park in the gated area, but then someone else parked in front of it, blocking our access to it. Otherwise the place was clean and nice being near the park.

I loved the room and the location and had a great sleep. The room was large and nicely appointed. The space felt very secure, my room was large and had a fantastic patio and cool decor.
My only feedback is about entering the property. I had difficulty with the gate and was instructed to look for angel statues to find the key but the statues were covered with bags of laundry so it took a while.
It was still a 5 star experience and I will be back.
