Summary: The place was a great location for where we were planning on traveling, and close to the airport! The town close by was great for food and souvenir shops.The place was a little dirty. Walking barefoot in the place, our feet got dirty and had to wash them off before going to bed. Some of the dishes were dusty and had to wash them before using.The bed is smaller than a queen, and sleeping was difficult with all the noice. It’s next to a busy road, and the A/C unit was very loud, but needed to keep it on to stay cool.Communication with the host was great, and was generous to let us check-in sooner with our early flight in, and stay later with our flight being later in the day.
