Rough start, excellent stay
I strongly suggest that it be made clear on hotels.com that this property requires an appointment in order to enter the premises. The contact person/owner was VERY rude in declaring that expectation. As someone who has been using hotels.com for over 10 years ( for hotels and apartment rentals alike- in the USA, San Andrés, Colombia, Cuba, Panama), I have NEVER been spoken to the way I was when trying to check-in.
The distaste was taken away with entrance to the beautiful apartment and with the very personable way in which Thasheca communicated with me.
I have already shared pics with my family and friends who are looking forward to looking into renting the location for their upcoming vacations.
