This property is exactly as advertised: conveniently located, safe, friendly staff and property manager, responsive owner, large balcony, very well-stocked. Despite being centrally located, we didn’t hear much noise - only a bit of traffic noise early in the AM. Highly recommend Los Mercados (down the street) for tasty treats. 2 blocks away is the boardwalk with a plethora of restaurants. 4 blocks to Basilio Badillo - a Main Street. There are about 8 steps to access the condo building, but there is a steep ramp (if you use a wheelchair, you’ll need an assistant).
The building is kept immaculately. Personally, I found the condo decor charming and you need to be very careful with all the art and objects that adorn every nook and cranny. The Apple TV was perfect (except when it rained). I never really figured out how to get regular local TV - I do wish there had been a tv in each bedroom, but that forced us to have more communal time.
You do need to sweep regularly because if crumbs fall on the floor, you will find tiny little ants crawling all over the floor. Fortunately, Gabriela (the property manager) got us a great house cleaning lady with reasonable prices. Communication with both Gabriela and the owner, Russell, was efficient and friendly.
I think the only con is that since we visited in July, we did experience a heat wave, power outages and air conditioning issues, but the issues were resolved within 24 hours. Although we used the air con sparingly, our deposit took a $200 hit bc we apparently went over our allowed kilowatt use. The last thing one wants to think about during vacation is utility costs. :-( We are still working out this item with the owner and hope to find a solution amenable to both parties. Despite that nuisance, I would not hesitate to recommend this condo. It made for a very comfortable home during our 3 week stay.
