Great value for your money! The room was really big with a small kitchenette. The host, Tatiana was very nice and helpful. She recommended activities, reserved a taxi for us and rented us her scooter ($15/day).

We absolutely loved our stay here. We had a great place, spacious and clean with a beautiful terrace overlooking the 2 volcanoes on the island so that alone sells it. Breakfast was lovely. Wifi was good and they have 2 friendly dogs around.
