Very nice property. Excellent host. Clean and had nice starting supplies. I would say the listing could say more info on the layout. This condo has lots of stairs. Those with mobility concerns would be in trouble at this location. They could use wine glasses and better silverware, but these are nit picky comments. It is very spacious and a great location. The pool is very nice and the locals there are too. Communication from the host was excellent. Note: they want you to do several chores before leaving. We did not mind, the price was good for the 2 BR / 2.5 BA condo

Michelle is an excellent host. She sent us a welcome package before our arrival, checked on us throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed and provided special touches with a variety of coffee, snacks and waters. We had a very relaxing time and the condo was in very nice condition.
