Marcela's place in Santa Teresa was great! The location was incredibly convenient for getting around on foot, especially to reach the beach. Communication with Marcela was excellent; she was responsive and accommodating. Thanks a lot!

We spent four days with Marcela in the accommodation and felt very much at home. It takes a few minutes to walk to the beach in a minute's walk. The place is clean and superbly equipped. Communication with Marcela was great, she welcomed us warmly and was always there for us. We would mist definitely visit again :)

We enjoyed it very much here. Marcela was a very kind and great host. We stayed for a month and got very nice and well cleaned after two weeks. Definitely recommend staying here!

Marcelas was very kind and helpful. The first night there were issues with the gas stove, but Marcelas fixed it right away. There were many small ants and spiders in the apartment, but it's Costa Rica :) Nice kitchen facilities and walking distance to supermarket. Close to the beach.

The property is accurate as described. The location is right in the middle of the two different surf breaks. La Lora is a 10 minute walk north and Playa Carmen is 15 minutes south. You are situated between two different grocery stores. There are restaurants within walking distance in both directions. I stayed for two weeks and had my place cleaned one week in between. My only complaint/gripe was that during my stay, I would lose every time there was a heavy downpour. This could last for 12 hrs overnight and some time for hours during the day. The water was shut off by the town? Due to something upstream. My friend who was 30 meters away did not experience this issue. Not the fault of the host but you should be made aware.

Marcela was lovely and was incredibly helpful with finding location, taxis and all the information we needed. Couldn’t have had a better stay. Thank you so much we will be back!

The arrival went well in the first place. The loft looked like the pictures, but it wasn't cleaned properly. The fridge was not cleaned and there were hairs and crumbs on the ground. Also, not everything was well closed. In the bathroom, there is a whole piece open and above the door it is also not closed properly. It doesn't have any windows, but it's mentioned in the reviews before, so we already knew that. This aside, after we put our stuff inside we only saw that there were flying ants coming out of the ceiling. They flew on the bed, on our stuff, and in the kitchen. We also saw that this could not be resolved with a spray because there are holes on the ceiling. In addition, they can also get through it above the door and from the bathroom. We needed a place to sleep anyway, so we asked the host if we might be able to get our money back. She understood us and indicated that we could come pick up the money the next day. The next morning she asked very neatly if we wanted to cancel the Airbnb so she could give us money. After a few hours, she was completely turned over, and all of a sudden she said she couldn't give back the money. Then we did let Airbnb know, and Airbnb reached out to her and then declined to refund the full amount. First, we had to book a very expensive hotel because it was so last minute and everything was full. If she hadn't said we'd get our money back, we wouldn't even have. Secondly, she makes a clear appointment with us and in the end she simply doesn't comply with her appointment, which we really don't like. We are really super dissatisfied with the way she handled this and we also feel really badly.

Marcela is so sweet! She met me when I couldn’t find her place and also let me keep my bags at her spot a day after my reservation ended. There are no windows but it’s a great location and AC keeps the place at a good temperature :)

The place is great and i would highly recommend. Marcela is there to greet you and share all you can do in Santa Teresa, where to eat and attractions. The place is just like the picture, wifi works great and location is really convenient, close to everything. I just wish you could get a bit more natural sunlight since windows are scarce, but overall a great stay.
