I loved staying at Jon’s home. It’s very cozy and situated in a central location. Will be coming back many more times!

A true gem in Popoyo. You’re three minutes away from the beach and right next to the grocery store. There are several restaurants at a short walking distance. The terrace is nice and comfortable to hang out at night with people. The property is well equipped, everything was as described, really clean. We couldn’t be happier. Jon, the host, was extremely friendly and responsive. I 100% recommend this place and I intend to go back with friends and family!

"Ocean view": building between the house and the beach, the photos do not match. "Fully equipped kitchen": sticky stoves, damaged utensils. No microwave, oil, or toilet paper. Sloppy cleaning, we had to buy sponges/products. "Powerful wifi suitable for working": constant internet/electrical outages. “Wash battery”: 1 oscillator that only lasts 1 hr. "Dedicated Workspace": 1 tiny shaky table, 1 steep chair. Very noisy (work, barking 5am-10pm, loud music at the surf shop opposite). We left 12 days before the end, freeing up the Airbnb calendar. Because of "work to do" and a "friend visiting during his trip", Jon made these days unavailable. I have lived in several countries, I travel, I am tolerant. I was hoping for a (partial - partial) refund of the $500 + paid for the end given the experience noted by Jon. I trusted the positive reviews, the place is a good fit if you don't need a rest or work.

Host Response

Very sorry that the neighborhood and infrastructure wasnt suitable for you. Be aware future renters, this is Nicaragua! You decided to cancel two weeks before scheduled checkout and wanted a refund although in the policy it states no refund. I can tell that is this review is in spite of that :(

We stayed at Las Palmas for over a month, and wow all I have to say are great things. Jon is an incredible host and makes you feel right at home. He is super friendly and makes amazing food from time to time. The place was very clean and comfortable. If you are coming to surf, there are so many breaks only a few minutes away. The place is spectacular in every way and we will definitely be coming back to Las Palmas! 10/10

I absolutely loved staying in the apartment, specious, breezy with kitchen, living room and terrace. The Kitchen is well equipped to cook your own meals. My stay was surf oriented, there are waves everywhere, my favourite definitely being the walk to and surf at popoyo, but there's also a wave right out front or playa Santana. Jon was super helpful, knowledgeable and quickly responded when I needed anything. There are two supermarkets very close by and the fruit and veggie truck comes almost every day. The Supermarktes are pricey, but they are there.

Jon is a very kind person and a very good chef! We recommend the apartment for long and short period, is close to many surf spot and restaurants reachable by walk, and the veggie truck comes by pretty much everyday! Jon has also two beautiful dog and a cat, and he’s very caring about the environment, we loved our stay in there and we totally recommend it!

We had so much fun staying at Jon’s place. We arrived late at night and Jon welcomed us with a smile and helped us with our bags (: the house is super spacious and comfortable. The balcony is such a great place to eat and chill. The living room is a great space to hangout and the kitchen had everything we need. Jon is a great host, super attentive and always there to provide information and help around the house! Overall the experience was great and fun, would definitely recommend this place to anyone that’s looking to spend some time in Popoyo! We will definitely come back (:
