5BR Colonial House in Granada

Mohamed

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

Probably one of the best and most unique airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. So close to everything we need and the house was massive with many areas to socialize and plenty of room to sleep.

This was our favorite Airbnb of the entire trip! The home is absolutely beautiful, spacious, and full of character. Every detail added to its charm, and it truly felt like a special place to stay. The location was unbeatable—we were able to walk to restaurants, cafés, and shops with ease, and we loved doing our morning walks through the beautiful streets of Granada. Beila was wonderful throughout our stay—always friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend! ❤️🇳🇮

We loved Margarita’s place. It is beautiful and very well stocked up. The pool was definitely a hit!

Many thanks Patricia! It was a pleasure and easy to receive your family, communication was excellent! You are most welcome to come back!

We stayed with 6 adults / 4 kids / 1 dog. The pool is small but the kids loved it and it was used multiple times a day. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/glasses. We cooked a few meals there including a big Christmas feast. Space for parking two cars - very secure and private. Easily walk around Granada. Lots of restaurants nearby and coffee right across the street. Margarita and House Manager Belia were very responsive - helping arrange a ride to the airport and suggestions on activities in the area.

Thank you Steve for your comment! We enjoyed receiving you, even the dog has left dog hair in quite a lot of space.

The house is beautiful and as clean as you can get a 200+ year old house. Margarita was sweet and helped us find things we wanted to buy while we were visiting.What kind of made the trip less than great was that electricity was not included in the over 400 dollar rent. Call me old fashioned but a vacation should be stress free. Air, water, soap, towels, and electricity should be part of rent. We should not have to wonder what using the air conditioner would cost when we are hot. We were told to run the pool filter for two hours per day. We don’t know what the mandatory filter will cost. If it were a 25 dollar per day rental it makes sense that you can’t pay that and use 25 dollars of electricity. I just recommend add 20 bucks to the rent and drop the fee.

Thank you Terry for visiting us. Your comment is perceived as slightly harsh, considering the specific attention you have requested and received from us! Include or not the electricity in the renting price is a dilema, and we describe it in the house presentation. With 4 aircon in the house, the cost of electricity being so high in Nicaragua, it will depend a lot on the aircon temperature defined by the renter. This is why we believe it is fair to provide a credit for electricity per day to cover the basic use. And by the way, you did not have to pay anything extra as you were in the pattern of your credit. As regards the filter of the pool, this was a suggestion to keep the water perfectly clean, there is no obligation.

The owner communicated very poorly. No flexibility for changes, it charged more for use of lamps as the air condition was not working. I had to submit a complaint to Airbnb to ask for support and request a refund, which was granted to me. Be careful with extra charges.

Hay vezes que la comunicacion no funciona. Este senor se enojo en 1er lugar porque no se le respondia de imediato acerca de su llegada a la casa en 8 dias. Despues se disculpo, penso que estaba hablando con un dueno en San Pedro Sula. Comunico 2 telefonos, uno en USA y otro en Mexico, se sorprende que uno escoga el que finalmente no se llevo. Se queja de detalles en la casa -al abrir la puerta de la calle, se cayo un pedazito de yeso, considera que es una falta de mantenimiento, saca una foto de un animalito en una casa que tiene patio abierto y argumenta que la casa no esta limpia!!! Gente que causa problemas, que no disfruta de su estadia sino que se queja, ni que sabe hacer funcionar un aire. Le dio cita a la responsable de la casa a las 8 am para entregarle la casa, y se fue antes sin avisar. Cuenta cuentos porque la electricidad que no pago, Airbnb se la cobro. Los cargo extras, si fueran estan explicados en la descripcion de la casa (la electricidad esta cara en Nicaragua, nosotros incluimos un consumo basico en el precio diario, despues cobramos el KWh al costo, es eleccion del inquilino, no son cargos extras).

Beautiful house perfectly centred to all amenities. The house had everything you needed to relax and chill. The house manager was available at all times and assisted with any questions we had. We have not words to describe how perfect our time at Casa La Gran Sultana was. Thank you Margarita and Bhelia for everything you did to ensure we had a great vacation.

Thank you Gina for your kind comments! It was easy indeed to support you and your positive attitude is what we look for, that is people who come to Granada to enjoy the city and the house!

Casa LA Gran Sultana was perfect. Great location. Around the corner from central park. We were extremely impressed with the house. It was clean and well decorated. Any concerns that we had with the house were quickly addressed by Belia. She was responsive and cordial. Check in and check out were easy. We definitely recommend this place.
