La Casita de la Penita

Excellent location with a lovely view. Clean and quite well equipped. comfortable furniture all quite new and in good repair. one quibble: the plasticized mattress cover makes the otherwise comfortable bed very hot.

No a/c and zero airflow even with the ceiling fans.. No daily maid service. Water pressure in shower is poor. The pool they boast? It’s tiny. More like a dipping pool. Jorge, the manager, initially charged me for a 7 night stay instead of a 2 night stay. Honest mistake? Maybe, but given what happened later, I wonder… Now the really bad stuff: Jorge, the manager’s, behaviour to me was aggressive and unacceptable. Here’s why I say this: After check in and once my friends and I returned from our tour of the town, Jorge, the manager, came to my room and insulted me. He told me in no uncertain terms that my friends were not welcome, that it was rude of me (!) to have invited them even though I had asked permission of Marta, the person who initially welcomed us, and had explained that they were only visiting for the afternoon/evening. I should perhaps assure everyone that we were neither partying nor loud. The issue, apparently, was that I was remiss in not having mentioned my friends to Jorge. When I assured him that I had mentioned my visiting friends to Marta, Jorge made a scathing comment about Marta “only” being a maid. Sadly, apparently, she did not remember our conversation, and denied knowing anything about my friends. Jorge’s immediate response upon hearing that, was to say he would fire her immediately for not having told him about my friends.(Really!?!) Poor Marta! Fortunately, she appeared to still be employed the following day.

Location excellent. Kitchen included.

It was a great location! it was very private and the manager was very kind!

We felt (because of the dust) the apartment could have been cleaned more regularly and the kitchen needs a very good cleaning!
