The host was very nice, he helped me park the car, and was always available. When I had troubles with a snoring and sick room partner, he offered me a different room. The rooms are clean and minimalistic. The bathroom was also clean. The beds are not so comfortable but they do for the purpose of sleeping. I was there in summer and had a light blanket but it was enough because it was hot outside. The location is great. It’s next to the airport, there is a beach down the road and a spot where you can also swim. I saw many jump in the water and swim there. Also restaurants and a supermarket nearby. But food inside the room is not allowed. So important to eat before you go to the room. I rented a car so I was flexible to move through the island. And at night it was nice to return to a spot which is safe and easy to reach. look, it’s not a resort. It’s for a purpose :). The purpose of sleeping and that’s it. It has wlan (network), it has a shared bathroom, it has a bed in a shared room. You spend the day in the island and at evening return there and sleep :). It’s good for arrival and departure day. Or days where you are nearby anyways. Also there is a costal hike which is not far from there. Best part is that the host is very nice. He respond fast. He helps with problems and is very polite. I like to support people like this because it’s genuine :).

The property actively contacted me and sent information about the accommodation. When we were there, they were also very responsive online, which made our journey pleasant. The location is great, as it is very close to the airport. Additionally, they offer a very good car rental service with a discount for guests staying at the property. The service is excellent — a very simple and smooth process. Definitely recommended!

    Enrique is a good host. His communication is excellent. When you are on holiday it's so much to arrange but Enrique was making things easier for you. I was late check in but he gave a clear instructions and arrange airport taxi for an early morning flight for me. The apartment is clean and funky. I like the idea of using recycled materials. Very reasonable price and near the airport only 3 minutes away. if you arrive late or leaving early. This is an ideal for you. Thank you
