    mosquitos inside (no nets due to sliding windows) To improve: Better equipment in the kitchen (only one cooking pot was really good. The other ones and the pan look older and scratched. Please provide a new spatula as well) A nicer backyard/parking space with a bigger proper waste bin with a lit. Pllease make sure that there is no rubbish lying around.

    We felt so well, that we didn't want to leave anymore 😅 Great, helpful, responsive, very flexible hosts and very nice apartment with aircondition in each bedroom, a lot of space and comfortable beds 🙏 And super nice stuff (Delia). She is helping quickly with everything you need. We loved swimming in the pool, it's beautiful and has perfect size.

    I loved the location and sense of security. It wasn't too far from everything but also far enough away to have peace.

    It was a little tricky to find the place. It would have been helpful if the owners placed a sign under the Sacaranda hotel sign that would indicate Mapeche this way ! however, it is still in a reasonable good location.

    The property location was in close enough proximity to the main road and so you can get to the town by walking 10 mins or taking any transportation making it even faster. This place had a homey feel and with the kitchen you had the option to prepare your own meals and thanks to the owner for the large container of bottled water. The place was very secure and the environment was very quite. The price for the place was also good.

    The pictures of the leaving room show it as one large room but actually it is narrow and not so big. A bit outside of the action of the town. Our unit of the four apartments in the building was on the ground floor and the views at the cars parked on the side and the small courtyard.

    We felt safe at this place. Close to the beach.

    Nothing important. Maybe a couple of additions to the kitchen equipment ( a kettle or something to boil water, a bowl to make a salad, toaster ?). The kitchen did have a blender and a rice cooker by the way.

    Nice and spacious. Complete kitchen, TV with good selection of channels, good private parking, peaceful and quiet location, nice veranda to sit outside… good to have both A/C and fans.

    That you couldn't keep that bedroom door open, instead of having the entire place cold with the AC, the door automatically closes and the only cold room was the bedroom. But that is insignificant, pretty much everything was really good.

    Easy access, the other guests followed the rules of silence, was safe and felt like a really relaxing day for me, exactly what I needed

    Hard to find, no signage, down unlit road. Further than expected to Puerto Viejo along a busy road, especially if you have to walk at night.

    Spacious apartment. Good air conditioning and wifi. Quiet area. Facilities within walking distance. Local buses stop on the main road. Charming host.
