As solid as it gets. Quiet area. I parked outside with no worries. There is a very friendly security guard at night. And the pool is legit. The unit was great. Cold AC and hot water. Clean. Good sized.

My husband loved the air conditioners throughout the apartment, one in the bedroom, one in the living room, and a small one in the kitchen. The apartments are very well-equipped with everything you need, and everything is very clean. We would definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay at Amelia's. There was a small supermarket nearby, and a large one 10 minutes walk away. The centre of town ( Plaza Major) was also 10 minutes walking in the other direction. Amelia arranged our taxis on arrival and departure and she was always easy to reach. She also provides beach towels, perfect for visiting Lake Apoyo and for swimming in the pool in the complex. The unit could use a little TLC but that didn't detract from our visit. The AC and wifi worked well.

The cottage is great! Even more beautiful than in the photos. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance of everything you want to do in Granada. The pool is also wonderful to cool off and relax. Amelia is friendly and responds quickly. Eva welcomed us on arrival and was also very friendly. Highly recommended!!

I stayed at Amelia’s place for a month and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It’s close to everything but the building is quiet and relaxed. Great WiFi for remote work. Amelia is an awesome host. Super friendly! Check-in was a breeze, as was coordinating cleaning. 100% recommended!

Fully furnished and functional apartment with a nice big pool. It was very comfortable and secure. there's a night time guard and it's in a quiet part of Granada, but still close to the center. Good value. Amelia was a great host. she usually responded in just a couple of minutes. I'd stay here again, and I did. I'd also recommend it to anyone visiting.

The place is very nice. It is a fully furnished and functional apartment with a big swimming pool. it's clean and secure with a guard on-site during the night time hours. It's close to the center about a 5 minute walk. But not too close because downtown can get noisy. I'd recommend this place to anyone coming to Granada, and I'd stay here again. The owner was always available and responded really fast when I needed help. I had a great stay.

We stayed two months in Nicaragua and at several different places. This was by far our favorite apartment. We most definitely felt at home at this apartment and looked forward to returning. We had a couple of electrical and plumbing issues during our stay, but Amelia and Nora were quick to respond and fix the problems. If we come back to Nica, we’ll stay here.

In our opinion, the best thing about location is the location. Close to San Juan but isolated from everything in the jungle. Peace of mind. The kitchen is so well appointed and Amelia and Walter respond quickly. Some things need to be repaired, especially the maintenance of the terrace furniture and common areas where the pool is located. Even so, the stay has been very good and we love the community.

Great month-long family stay! We loved our stay, the accommodation is very large. We have 4 children and we could have accommodated two other guests, no problem. Super functional kitchen, pleasant and kind neighbors. Walter is more than great, he is efficient and makes sure everything goes smoothly for us. The shared swimming pool is great too, we sometimes meet neighbors (expats, locals), but often we were alone. We heard and seen: howler monkeys, parrots, opossum, all kinds of birds. Well located in relation to the city and the seafront, it takes a car/motorcycle because a little far on foot (4.75 km), even if we did it a few times and it was a great experience. Bus stop at the bottom of the hill too. The climb is a little difficult by car (Toyota Yaris), but it worked for us in the dry season. Amélia responds super quickly and fixed a problem with the Jacuzzi in a few days. In short, we recommend it. We'll be back:)

We had a great time at Amelia's place. The pool is perfect for hot summer days. Amelia is very responsive - when we had issues with the WiFi, she had it fixed immediately, so we enjoyed super fast wifi (minimum 70 Mbps) during our stay. We got drinking water and cleaning services for free, too - something we really appreciated. The area is quiet, and the bed was really really comfortable. All in all an amazing stay.

Millie’s place has done one of my favorite things in the hotel/Airbnb industry - undersell and over deliver! Walter the cuidador is super friendly and helpful, the photos don’t do it justice 😊😊 It’s peaceful, conveniently close to town without any of the party noise. Everything is clean and comfortable. Great value for what you get.

We really loved our stay here! The condo is very comfortable and has everything you need to cook. The pool was nice and the condo is an easy walk into town. Only downside was there was no washer like posted in the listing. Luckily the host arranged for the cleaning lady to do our laundry. Other than that everything was excellent.

Amelia is a top notch host! I think i would be hard pressed to find better! We are so well taken care of here, and love the community, that it would be challenging to leave. Amelia has an incredible couple that take care of the property, and anything that we need taken care of or fixed, gets taken care of. Walter and Sonya are kind locals that make staying in Nicaragua a place where we could never leave!

Almelia, the host, was kind and responsive. The pool and pool area was beautiful, once we found it. The coffee pot leaked. The shower handle fell off, even after it was repaired. There was no shampoo. We could not operate the television. There were ants. No instructions for use of tv and jacuzzi and directions to pool. Reviews were confusing as they applied to multiple units. Not quite the jungle setting we expected and no view of ocean as we expected.

We really enjoyed our stay at Millie's Place. Close enough to town but out of the way in the jungle. I think the house, community and experience was better than I expected. Great energy. A firm 10 out of 10, and a desire to return. Really comfy beds, big kitchen, perfect house for up to 4 people I would say. The house is in a wonderful setting with parrots, monkeys, jays and squirrels regular visitors. I even saw a toucan really close up, and lots of dogs around which we love. The local family who are the caretakers are just adorable. It's best if you have a vehicle.

Amelia is a great communicator. The hot water heater was great (I used to live in Nicaragua and expected to cold showers but was pleasantly surprised there was a heater for the shower). The pool was nice and big and the location was nice. The condo had numerous issues which continued to get worse so I had to leave early. To her credit, she wanted to try to make things right and mentioned she was going to not rent it again until she could get there to take care of things personally. The location was great and the condo has potential.

Great spot to stay in Granada. We had fun connecting with residents wintering from Ireland, the US, and Canada. We also enjoyed the Cafe de Jardin (gardencafegranada.com) just a few blocks down the street. Great Nicaraguan dinner And breakfast! Guests make sure to use and keep emptying the dehumidifier Amelia has provided. The king bed is very comfortable and we recommend Amelia's place to other Granada travelers.

Amelia's was a great place to spend the final two days of our Nicaragua trip. She had everything we needed. Hot water and AC were a real plus and the comfortable King Size bed was a treat. We didn't have time to use the pool, but it looked very clean and well maintained. The condo seemed very secure and was a short walk to the bustling central park and restaurants. We wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Amelia!

Amelia's place in Granada is a gem. The outdoor pool inside the complex is wonderful for a quick dip and the unit itself feels a bit luxurious and comfortable at the same time. Other highlights included the hot water for showering and the well-equipped bedroom. I would gladly stay at Amelia's place again on a future visit to Granada. It is located well with respect to some of the sites in the centro while getting you out of the mix. There is a security guard onsite, as well. The only thing that could use some attention is the state of the cooking supplies in the kitchen - they could stand to be updated. Otherwise, everything was splendid. Be sure to contact the host for the code for the strong box available inside the unit.

Amelia is unbelievably helpful and friendly. The condo was a perfect place for visiting Granada. Extremely comfortable, clean and central, without being too close to loud nightlife. The pool in the common area was squeaky clean and quiet. The other tenants in the complex were also friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place, and would stay here again.

My husband and I spent a couple of nights at Amelie's place and LOVED it. She was so helpful in providing us tons of information about transportation from Managua and to SJDS. Her apartment was very well kept up and she had a ton of "extra" touches that shows she really puts a lot of effort into being a great host. She was so accommodating around our check in/check out times and we just really appreciated her prompt responses to any questions/comments we had. I would highly recommend this location and this host!

Amelia is wonderful. She was always available to answer questions promptly and very responsive even though she was in the States and we were there. Her place worked out well, although it was a bit creepy being the only ones in the entire key/gated condo complex. It was very dark when we returned at night. We used the living room pull out sofa that Amelia had ready as a bed. Be aware that if you do that you aren't able to fold it back and use the living room as the bed takes up the whole living room. Also be aware that whoever stays there needs to walk through the bedroom to use the bathroom. The hot water and air conditioning worked really well and are a true rarity there--so that was much appreciated. You will want to use the air right away to get the musty smell out of the place that is due to the climate I am sure. We did not take a taxi from the square as others suggested and had no problem. It is not far (but we are walkers) and seemed too close to drive--but it isn't in the main stream of Granada life. We did move to a more mainstream place our second week there and enjoyed that convenience, but if you are looking for a more peaceful place, this is a good option.
