Two adult couples rented this house for four nights. The description of the house is incomplete and the photos are misleading. The vast majority of the photos (60%) show the rooftop patio, the town of Parikia, and the outside of the house.
What we liked:
Kitchen is good sized and well equipped.
The master bedroom is a nice size and has a king bed.
The second floor large bathroom is good sized with a bathtub, sink, nice counter space, and a very small shower; toilet is in a separate room.
The roof top area has a view of the sunset.
Washing machine.
The on-site property manager is helpful and attentive.
What we did not like:
The second bedroom is extremely small, there is about 10” between the bed and the walls; if the ladder to the lofted bed is left in place there is about 5” of space which impedes getting out of bed. Also, there is no window in this room and it feels very claustrophobic and cave-like. The AC is anemic.
There is no photo or description of the first floor bathroom. This room has a sink, shower and toilet but because there are no walls separating these utilities when you shower, the toilet, floor, walls and sink get wet. Must remember to remove the toilet paper first before showering!
Parking is on the street and, if you get lucky, you will only need to walk 1-2 blocks.
In both bedrooms the closets are very small and have no dressers.
The toilet on the second floor is in a separate room with no sink, there is a small ceiling window with a small hole in the screen.
Entrance to the roof top is through the master bedroom.
Overall, we were very disappointed and contacted the owner to see if we could get a 50% refund on the remaining three nights so we could go to a nearby hotel. She declined. We stayed a second night but moved to a hotel, the other couple did stay for all four nights. The hotel was cheaper, had a nicer, larger bedroom, and provided a very nice breakfast.
This property probably works well for a family where the kids would sleep in the small bedroom and the adults in the master bedroom but it is not comfortable for two adult couples traveling together.
