Staying at this lovely, 2-bedroom guest house was perfect for our family of four. Our teenagers (a boy and a girl) each had their own bed and were Okay with sharing a room. There was a TV in each bedroom, and a loveseat and chair in each room, so we didn't really miss the "living room". The kitchen table was outside under the porch, so that's where we ate every meal, looking at the lovely grounds and swimming pool, and the mansion across the lawn! Luis, the son of the owners, was responsive and very nice. He even showed us the inside of the beautiful big house, still under construction through many years of love and planning. (No construction occurred while we were there.) Only the onsite caretaker, Esteban, was there, who worked but was respectful of our privacy. Mari, the housekeeper, does a great job for the family as well.
When we arrived, Luis (who speaks excellent English) met us and showed us around and gave us the keys to the house, gate and the garage door opener. Other than Esteban, we had the place to ourselves. I loved the solitude and peacefulness. Even though this house is only two blocks from the highway, you couldn't hear any noise because of the buildings between, as well as the privacy walls surrounding the house, and trees. The dirt roads in the neighbourhood are full of potholes, unfortunately, and the neighbourhood could use a bit of cleaning up.
When we arrived, we noticed that the coffee pot was missing, and Luis made sure Mari brought it from the big house. We tried to use their pots and pans, but the pot leaked from two tiny holes (couldn't see them unless you looked for them), and everything stuck to the bottom of both pans provided. We bought our own T-Fal pan, and Luis later brought over two usable teflon pans, and Mari brought us a pot we could use. All was well.
We noticed lots of mosquitoes, but Luis provided a spray as well as citronella candles.
Once you get the hang of the shower, you can have a hot water shower. It takes a while for it to come, though, but don't turn it off to save water or you'll be waiting for it to come back. I learned to have my shower at a little more than a trickle.
The beds are comfortable, but there is certainly room in the master bedroom for a bigger bed, which would be great.
All in all, we had a great time at this place and may be back! Thank you, Luis and family, for a lovely place to stay.
