Lilliana

My family and I were looking for a place to get away from the city and be in touch with nature. We also found reading material—some beautiful books that we were able to enjoy. We went for walks, and we were always busy. This place also encourages healthy family time; it doesn't have a TV because you would never need one. Recommended.

The good: the view is stunning. Very stocked with kitchen supplies. The pizza oven is awesome. The bad: Lumpiest bed I’ve slept on in years. The “Swiss suicide” shower - foreigners may be rightfully concerned to have to flip the switch on (wear shoes when you do it!). Nowhere to store your clothes. Towels should be replaced. The fridge was unplugged, which made it inconvenient to store our groceries upon arrival. At midnight, the motion sensor sounds the alarm, if you’re on the back patio. The ugly: Excessive termite droppings in the queen bed and all over the bedside table and floor. Leak from bathroom ceiling during storm. No apology from the host, though we spoke on the phone about it. It’s one thing to be responsive in communication, it’s another to be responsible for the conditions of your place. She did not seem concerned that her house is infested with termites and her roof is leaking. We also found a few bugs: cockroach, millipede, and termite. 1st negative review I’ve left.
