Nestled in the heart of a quaint city, our cozy stay at the charming 3 bedroom house was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a sense of tranquility that enveloped us throughout our stay. The accommodations were beautifully decorated with a touch of rustic elegance, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Our room was spacious, yet cozy, with plush bedding. Each morning, we were greeted with warm morning message from our host. One of the highlights of our stay was the personalized service we received from the attentive host,who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was safe and secure. I will stay anytime l visit home.

Host was responsive and courteous. The apartment was spacious, well stocked and cleaned daily. The building amenities are nice, though quite a bit of construction going on and the elevator didn’t always work. Courtesy early check in/out not available. The coffee shop in the courtyard was great. Overall well recommended.

Tranquil Oasis Close to the Sea

5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviews1 week ago

I absolutely loved staying at this Airbnb! The place was sparkling clean. Towels were new, beds were beautifully laid, kitchen was stocked with appliances, and the whole place smelt fresh. The furnishing was very thoughtful too. For example, they had universal wall sockets that supported plugs from multiple continents. I stayed there with friends/tourists from many different countries and we were all able to use their sockets. Each room had both air conditioners and fans, so the entire place stayed cool even in the heat. They had 24-hour security who were kind and attentive so it felt very safe. And the hosts were constantly checking in and very responsive. If you’re disabled, I’d recommend requesting a ground-floor unit as the upper floors are accessible by staircase. That said, the top floor worked beautifully for my group. It had an excellent view of the city and a nice gentle breeze. I would 100% stay here again. They made the accommodation aspect of our trip completely stress-free

We absolutely loved it at Eric’s place and the gated community! It’s especially great with kids as you can just walk around without worrying about traffic and enjoy the pool and playground on the premises. Eric is an amazing host, everything was well organised and he’s very reliable and responds quickly. He even allowed us to do a late checkout since we had a late flight. We’d love to come back soon!
