Garabaldi Bungalow STR 25-0002 with private patio

8/10 Good

"Bungalow was the cutest and coziest. Everything you might need is provided. Only thing that was a challenge was that at night is was VERY warm in the bungalow. We figured it out after a very uncomfortable 1st night sleep. We strategically used the fans provided in the closet to pump the AC air from the living room to the bedrooms… we closed the bathroom door to prevent the heat that accumulated there during the day due to skylight. Also had to position one of the fans to counter the heat coming off and radiating from wall heater pilot light….Opening up the windows and doors in the evening definitely helped and having the ceiling fans on all day. Note: it was the peak of summer and the highs were mid to upper 80’s so I’m sure this is not an issue all year…Other than that, our host was super responsive and helpful and the place was super clean and nice!"
