Communication with the owner was exceptional. Did not need to communicate much with her, which is not a bad thing. But she initiated communication to make sure everything was good. Home was on the smaller size for a family of 5, but that was expected for the price and location. We were still comfortable with the space. The location was amazing, and was bit away from the more populated area, which we loved. The walk to the beach was only a block away and had access right across the crosswalk. Would definitely stay there again. *note* the only reason for the 4 instead of the 5 for cleanliness is that we had to wash most the pots and pans before use, but that may be mostly because other families may not cook often on their vacation. We did to help save cost, and the host provided all the essential cookware for easy cooking meals.
