This place is as advertised from the pictures. It is a great location near the beach in a very friendly part of town. Our host quickly answered a few questions we had but everything else was very straightforward and we had a great stay!

Clean home. Good amenities. Responsive host. The only issue was wi-fi & internet wasn't functioning. The host tried her best to help, but it wasn't a huge issue for us.

Property is as advertised but you need to do some exploring to figure everything out. The instructions are clear but some of the stuff is counterintuitive . It works if you stay with it. The owner is very responsive to any problems and makes sure they get resolved.

I'm sorry you had no shower soap - I do provide it so it must have been an oversight by the cleaners. Glad you enjoyed your stay! The cleaners said it was there under the sink.
