Our family of 4 had a great 4 night stay at Claudia's! Her place was clean and equipped with all the basics for a comfortable stay. When we did reach out to Claudia, she was always quick to respond and did so in a friendly and helpful manner. She even arranged a taxi from the Costa Rica border for us as well as the delivery of another jug of water. As others have mentioned, the pool near the condo is small (but easy to access). We found another larger pool at the opposite end of the complex behind the Pizza House and it was excellent! The condo is an easy walk to the main streets of SJDS, a quick walk to a small pulperia (Stop and Buy) and a 1.3km walk to a larger store (Ahorra Mas). We ate at Henry's Iguana and it was great! We also used Casa Oro for surf lessons and enjoyed a day at Tree Casa - amazing place and delicious pizzas. A few things: the shower pressure is minimal, the couch well loved and having to think about AC usage can be frustrating. Still, a great place to stay!

We had a pleasant stay at Claudia’s place. The location is very practical, as it’s on the way to Maderas and close enough to the village of San Juan, which made getting around easy. The space itself is clean, nice, and well laid out, and Claudia was very friendly and responsive throughout our stay, which we truly appreciated. There are just a few points worth noting for future guests. The pool did not meet our expectations, as it was dirty and located in a corner that felt less inviting. The mattresses were quite soft and not very comfortable for us, and the master bedroom let in a lot of light early in the morning, making it difficult to sleep once the sun came up. Additionally, the showers would benefit from some maintenance, as the water pressure was low and the shower head sprayed unevenly. Overall, despite these points, we still had a nice stay and would recommend the place, especially for its location, cleanliness, and the host’s availability and kindness.

Claudia was very responsive and made sure we didn't lack anything! She's a perfect manager. I took some time before writing my review because I wanted to see if it was details of this particular listing or Nicaragua in general. The only thing I would like to mention is that the water pressure was very, very low compared to the other 2 Airbnbs we did in Nicaragua. In addition, the bed in the master bedroom was not at all comfortable. Actually, I read this comment about the bed that was from last summer, so I thought it would have been taken into account since then. I have to admit that I was starting to look forward to changing accommodation just because of the beds, the water pressure was not really a real problem. I did not communicate any problems with the manager. I left a 5-star review anyway because I also have an Airbnb and I know how catastrophic a 4-star rating is.
