Cute house/pool, Great host, A few surprises
We had a 4-night stay in late March - enjoyed our stay & the host was great. We felt like the interior description & pictures were spot-on, but the exterior & location were not what we expected (from the pictures & description).
PROS: 1) Host was very responsive, gracious, & easy to work with. 2) Pool was the perfect size/heated. 3) Cost of home was very reasonable. 4) A lot of little extras (everything well stocked, 3 TV's, allowed us to check in early, plenty of pool towels, etc.).
CONS: 1) Neighborhood was a little sketchy (although we felt safe in the home itself which was thoroughly walled/gated). 2) It was private since walled/gated, but definitely not peaceful - right on a busy road with loud trucks/cars with loud mufflers all day/night. Must be prone to racing since there were speed bumps, but cars still drove fast. 3) The front, back, & side yards were due for some upkeep (a lot of tall, overgrown weeds) and also a dump run (corner with broken fire pit, old pool stuff, boards stacked/covered in blue tarps, etc).
All in all, we really liked the house/pool - easy enough to have a little yard upkeep & dump run! I would suggest that you mention that it is next to a busy road that can have car noise though. After reading "peaceful villa" as a descriptor, I think that was the most surprising thing. Thanks!
