"Our stay was great, from the arranged taxi with Roger to meeting and getting great tips and info from David. Both were very pleasant, and David responded to all our questions. Only thing we could say is that we hoped the air conditioner would have worked a little better, it barely kept up with the heat, but other than that it had all you needed for making meals etc. Also very close to 2 markets to walk and get what you need.
