We read lots of reviews mentioning how great host Freddy is. He indeed arranged us a nice welcome with a personal chalkboard drawing and a welcome present, and did a thorough intro of the house. On the other hand we were a bit surprised that the kitchen came without an oil, with a very little amount of salt and coffee, just 4 cups, and the drying rack had just 5 clips... How much does that stuff cost? Does it tell something about the generosity of the host?
Anyway, I wouldn't mention all that if not one little circumstance that really disappointed us. We bought some cheeses, jamon and other stuff to take home. In a checkout rush we forgot the whole bag in the fridge. Freddy found it and without letting us know took the stuff to his home. We discovered this after 1.5 days when we received the luggage. When I asked him whether we could forget the bag, Freddy told us he thought it was a leftover food, that he found it quite late and thought we were already on the plane. Hmmm.. The food was new, packed and unopened, did it look like a "leftover"?Freddy didn't throw it to the garbage, so "leftovers"? When one finds stuff people forgot, it is expected to at least let people know. Sorry, this cannot be appreciated.
Freddy offered his apologies, but in any case, judge by yourself.
More things to improve:
The floors were dusty (maybe it is due to the permanent winds)
Mattresses are not comfortable (more on the soft side) and pillows are hard.
Very difficult to set proper water temperature in the shower.
Wifi is not very stable. It disconnects sometimes and I had to reset the router once.
Hot water tank is quite small - barely enough to shower 2 kids and 1 adult.
