Utleier var proff, tilgjengelig og svært hyggelig å ha med å gjøre! Vi reiste en stor familie med flere barn i ulike aldre. Villaen var over forventet med både rengjøring, uteareal og hvordan huset er designet. Vi likte spesielt godt at soverom lå i ulike «soner» noe som passet oss perfekt. Utleieren har vært svært rask til å svare og har vært til hjelp både ved bestilling, før avreise og under oppholdet. Villaen ligger i et rolig område og det var enkelt å bestille taxi for turer til puerto rico. Enkelt å rusle ned til nærmeste Strand som tok ca 15 min. Anbefaler både huset og utleier til andre og vi vil fort bestille samme sted igjen når storfamilien skal på tur. ##### Fredrik H.
