Not as expected
Check in was not smooth. Door code was delayed in activation. We had to seek help in order to contact owner. With no WiFi accessible on our phones, we could not use WhatsApp. Also the WiFi is rather weak in this unit once we got logged on.
Photos on the website are not the same as the actual unit. Different couches are shown which changed our expectations. We have encouraged the owner to update the website.
Be aware that the main bathroom is between the two bedrooms and must be shared. Powder room bathroom at the entrance has no hot water. One sliding door is badly cracked and taped. We did not want to use it so had to walk through our friends’ bedroom. The patio is good with a lovely view of Tetakawi. Rooms were nice and clean.
The “plastic” kitchen dishes need to be replaced as they are stained. Cutlery knives are minimal although there are lots of sharp knives. Pots and pans are good but one frying pan has a loose handle. Sink stoppers do not fit properly so we used a flat rubber from the shower to hold water in the sink. The oven never started and no reply from the owner about it.
Laundry room is good and even has a little clothesline for items to be hung.
Bath towels could be replaced as they have stains. With four adults sharing the bathroom, there was only one small towel bar. Recommend adding a towel rack for drying. The AC/heater units worked beautifully.
Even with all these issues with the unit, we still enjoyed our month in San Carlos.
