Very nice and safe neighborhood. The room is extremely clean. Bed is comfortable. Everything you need is provided. Only thing that I found as an issue and that may be just my issue is sugar was provided for coffee, but some of us cannot use sugar because we have diabetic issues and we need Stevia or a similar product. So after making the coffee, I realized my husband could drink it, but I could not because I didn’t have a sweetner I could use. Sugar is not an option for me. Other than this, everything was wonderful.

This apartment is attached to a house. Very nice neighborhood. Very close to the airport. The apartment itself had nicely chosen furnishings. Well done. The only negative is you could smell when the homeowner was cooking. I would stay again for a quick trip.

Charming little place!

This place is great. Great location. Charming, great decor, **very clean** and with all the amenities that one might need. Comfortable bed, kitchen cupboards are well stocked from dishes & cups to electric kettle, toaster, etc (no stove plate but has everything else, even ice trays!). Strong wall air conditioning unit (to supplement the central AC). Overall, a great experience. The host was very quick to answer questions or respond to any requests, including extra towels. Pool towels were provided. The only downside was the very low water pressure in the shower, which was due to the type of shower head (since the sinks work fine and have good pressure). This was communicated to the host who said will fix it.
