Important Information
Steep Hill Access
The home is located 35 meters above sea level and requires a brief but vigorous climb up a steep hill. Healthy travelers can walk up to the property in approximately 2 minutes.

Please confirm that you and your travel companions are comfortable with this short but steep climb.
We look forward to hosting you!

Jimmi's house is just perfect. It is a 2-minute walk from the city center where you can easily find everything. Café, restaurant, shop, beach, scooter rental. I've never rented a house and felt at home so quickly. We were 2 adults and 4 children and everyone feels the same way. Upon arrival, there was fresh fruit, ice and fresh water. It's very clean, even impeccable, but also very well maintained. This house is simply welcoming and you feel at home in 5 minutes. The neighborhood and the city are safe. Although it is close to the city, it is surrounded by greenery and we are entitled to a visit from 7-8 monkeys🥳. There were also 2 cats that stay outside and are cared for by the neighbor, which made my daughter happy. Jimmi is a thoughtful and caring host. We received several messages with well-placed details or comments. For a great trip, it's the destination! Thanks

Jimmi was one of the most responsive hosts I’ve ever met. Great space; very private and easily walkable to good spots. It was a little tough to find once it’s dark out, but he gave clear instructions with pictures on how to find it. Would stay again!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Jimmy's place, we didn't want to leave! The place was very spacious, clean and had good Internet. It was great to be so close to town so you can easily run to the store or grab a meal. Jimmy and Fusun are very responsive to all questions and helpful with any recommendations. Can't wait to stay there again!

Our stay at Escondida Hill was amazing and relaxing. The location was great, just a short walk from the distance. The villa was exactly like on the pictures, and it have literally everything you’d need for your stay. The host was also really responsive and helpful with whatever we needed. We felt right like at home. Definitely would stay again!

Jimmy and his dear wife provide a great house. There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms with outdoor showers (hot water available). On the extensive terrace with pool there is plenty of space with outdoor kitchen, cozy get-together and yoga. A beautiful view of the city and surrounding area completes the whole. The city is only a few minutes away on foot.
