Warm and wonderful

Just loved this accommodation. The hosts are warm and welcoming. They are around to answer questions and have conversations. Very lovely people. Loved the artwork and layout with a private veranda and two bedrooms. Enjoyed the geckos for company. However, the sound within the building travelled. Not soundproof. There are dogs and roosters on neighbours’ properties that can be quite noisy even through the night. The singing coqui frogs are quite loud at night as well. Earplugs were used. In spite of these issues, we had a memorable and enjoyable stay.
