Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The main house is very roomy and beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cooking supplies, and there are also suffucuent toilet paper rolls and paper towels. The care taker is very responsive and helpful.Two things warrant special mention. The windows in the Casita, as noted by other prior guests, should be repaired. Opening or closing them is a 2 person job, one inside and one outside. Beyond incomvenient.The kitchen counters are covered with copper metal sheeting. Very pretty, but almost anything leaves marks; especially acidic things like tomato sauce or lemon juice. Be advised to use cutting boards liberaly to minimize exposure of the surface to things while cooking.
