Views are amazing- everything else mediocre
Getting there was incredibly awkward. We had an experienced Costa Rican driver- but the directions provided were not clear and host was not very responsive when we contacted them. Finally we got there- the ride up the mountain is VERY steep. The house itself is very large, has most of what you need. Definitely needs TLC. Looks like most things have been allowed to get run down over the last sever years. There was a newly renovated bathroom on 1st floor that had a ‘window’ (just an open hole) with no screen or way to close it so the room was filled with bugs. There was a locked upstairs bedroom with a second floor balcony. Didn’t think much of it since some rental homes have restricted areas. This property is listed as ‘entire home’ so the assumption is that no one else is staying in the property. Well on the second night we came back from dinner to a random dog out on that second floor balcony. Also coincidentally there was no power at all in the house. I called the mgmt company Who assured me power would be restored shortly and let me know the dog Belonged to the owner who LIVES in that second floor bedroom. It was so odd. Like why not disclose that in the listing or even when we checked in (assuming it was a one off and maybe their plans had changed). It was a real violation of privacy. The view is spectacular. That was the saving grace. All in all would not stay again.
