Although the owners refunded us it left us without a place to stay which was a little bit stressful. ##### Eva W. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff D. 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay Great place for walking everywhere. Patio was very relaxing. To bad the morning rush hour of motorbikes was early. If there were cruiser bikes to use it would of been ideal, but the five minute walk to beach was awesome! Would definetely stay again and hopefully longer. ##### Jeff D.
