A wholesome, productive stay with a distinguished host whose character and care truly stand out. 🌟
Pros:

Ms. Alyssa is a distinguished, personable, transparent, and humble host. Her homes are lovely, clean, and wholesome environments that are perfect for both individual focus and collaborative work. She communicates honestly and clearly, and it’s evident that the purpose she carries is greater than herself. That spirit shows in everything she does—she truly feels like an Angel on Earth. ✨🙏

Cons:

There was nothing I disliked about Ms. Alyssa or the properties she manages. She is thoughtful, honest, and truly cares about the experience of her guests.

Lo recomiendo si vas en coche.
Pros:

Me gusto la terraza y la hermosa vista al lago.las instrucciones que me dio Alissa por mensajes fue muy claras ,por tanto el check-in fue rápido.
Si bien el baño es compartido siempre lo encontré disponible.
El lugar es amplio y la habitación es amplia.

Cons:

Debido a que yo no fui en auto me pareció un poco lejos porque no hay parada de autobuses cerca.
Caminar por los alrededores fue difícil porque no está diseñado para los peatones.
Me hubiese gustado ganchos para colgar toallas y cartera en el baño y en la cocina no encontré cucharas.
Hay que tener suerte para encontrarse con huéspedes que sigan al pie de la letras las instrucciones y respeten los horarios de silencio.

Fair/Good
Pros:

The house is peaceful, and very silent when you have nice people sharing the space with you. Nice washer and dryer. Excellent wifi. Good location overall. Staff was very nice when I asked to change the AC temperature, and friendly answering other questions as well.

Cons:

There needs to be more vigilance when it comes to noises during the night. I had a room next to me that had very loud TV, and people talking until 3 am. They would also leave during the night and come back making a lot of noise. For 1 week I could not sleep, luckily they were gone after and the problem was solved. The pressure on the shower needs to be fixed or changed since there is only one to use. The house needs cleaning at least once a week or 15 day, the kitchen ground and bathrooms were very dirty. I understand the cleanness of the rooms is our responsibility, but the entire house, stove and other appliances need cleaning. There needs to be more cutlery.

the people next door really noisy
Pros:

the kitchen installation and the view that was in the back. the bathrooms,

Cons:

A lot of noise in the morning, I paid for a room in the upper part and they gave me another, they placed in too cold air in my room and the cold outside came in through the windows, I left my car parked there and the next day sensors began to fail in front as if they had hit it, a guy in a car was there for a long time inside the vehicle, The bed had a vibration and the engine of the cars outside sounded, two black guys did but come and go from the house and talk loudly around the room
