The pictures don’t do justice for this property, you have to experience it in person to enjoy its unique look and feel. The pool is great and the downstairs master bedroom was spectacular. All rooms in this house are decorated with Mexican flare. We will come back and stay in the future, for sure. Thank you Carlos for sharing your home!"
