Lovely casita, nice & responsive but there was a lot of unexplained activity. The garage had banging & other noises going on in there throughout the day. My husband saw a guy taking the garbage from the street so he went to talk to him. The man said he was the hosts brother, they both own it and he does woodworking in there. He asked if it bothered us, we said no, just didn’t know what all the noises were. We felt better after that, but then the lights were on throughout the night in there and we could see shadows, it was just an uneasy feeling. There is not a cooler in the home so we left doors and windows open, but there was a door to the garage right out back of the room we slept in. It made my kids feel scared and I did not feel comfortable with it either. Then, after reading previous reviews, I decided to look in the coffee table drawer and found a note etched in the drawer saying “I can see you from behind:)”. I don’t know if that was a joke or put by someone else, but I could not sleep at all after that and I did feel like someone was watching us from behind. It’s unfortunate because we liked our stay and the hosts, but they need to be more upfront so guests feel safe in their surroundings. It was unfair to make guests park around the corner down the street when there was a spot in the drive the whole time, but we weren’t allowed to use. Also, threats to make guests pay for plumbing because their pipes are old is pretty harsh. I think they need to update the pipes.
