Nice but needs some attention
The grounds are truly lovely and pleasant, the walk to the beach is perfect for a morning amble. The rooftop and the outdoor couches were great to relax on and enjoy the view.
However, a few things are lacking in the casita itself. There is no seating inside other than a single chair for the desk. A padded chair or small couch would be much more comfortable than having only a bed to lounge on.
There is no freezer section in the refrigerator and no ice provided, if you want to keep ice you will need to bring a cooler and a bag of ice. There is no microwave provided.
The lighting in the bathroom is a single low wattage candle shaped chandelier type bulb, you would need 4 of them to provide adequate light, it's quite dark. The small mirror was hanging horizontally at a very low height, at 5'9" I had to bend way down to see my face, it made shaving extremely difficult until I removed the mirror and replaced it vertically and luckily I brought my headlamp flashlight.
The toilet is still loose on the floor as noted in a previous review.
The bed has storage drawers under it, one drawer was hanging askew and making an annoying bang when getting on or shifting on the bed, my inspection revealed the drawer frame under the bed was broken and hanging loose.
Still, we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay. There are several excellent organic coffee shops, restaurants, juice bar and french bakery and a wonderful market within a 5 minute walk. It's really a great neighborhood.
