    It was good and would probably book again as long as the Netflix already works.

    The TV won't connect to the internet during my stay. It was one of the reasons I booked but was not able to enjoy Netflix even once. Reported this to the owner and they said they'll have it checked since its the first tine it happened. Also, area might not be good of you're afraid of dogs. I am not afraid of dogs though but some stray dogs from the neighborhood would bark at you nonstop if you come in during dawn or very early morning and no one is around, seems like they don't want you in. I dont seem to have the freedom to leave and come back any time I want 😅

    The caretakers are so kind and helpful. Miss Genna is great too. She allowed me early check in since I arrived before 2PM and everything's ready already. The place is also big and the garden is relaxing. It's also close to both the port and MJ square area. Walking distance.

    For improvement: The shower water pressure is very low. Toilet bowl brush and cleaning agent should be provided. There was no dishwashing soap, but when I asked, they gave me some. Thanks. Airconditioner is noisy. The neighbors across were noisy all night long. It was either purely conversations or radio playing the same songs again and again. They disrupted my sleep. However, this is not Genna's fault.

    The location is great. It is close to almost everything. Our room provided us great privacy. We also enjoyed fresh coconuts from Genna's garden and we could take one with us back to Cebu City.

    Ants were able to dig a hole in the bathroom door frame. Careful with your food scraps because they will have a feast day.

    The location is perfect. Just a minute walk to the beach. Very spacious and has all the basic kitchen facilities to cook your own meals. Wifi is decent. Good enough for video calls.

    Nothing i can think of

    I like the place it feels like home away from home and the friendly neighborhood and quiet at night. Walking distance to everything and the owner of the place become a good friend of mine now and the care taker become a good friend of mine now too.And we are looking forward to visit them again the next time we’re going to visit my hometown maybe end of this year 😊 We did enjoy the home cooking that save us a lot that always eating out in a restaurants.

    There were no forks, and the pots were tiny. The knife was very sharp, but very small. There weren't enough trash bins inside the house, it would've been nice if there was plastic bags that we could've stuffed things in.

    I loved how close it was to Santa Fe's central area for both food, groceries and general leisure. The water was constant, and it was clean. The caretaker/owner was very kind and accommodating! The kitchen was clean, and they did Agree to most requests. I loved that there were public beaches in walking distance, and that you could walk around and find markets, stalls, and food places literally everywhere. Everything was accessible, which was great.

    The unit is located right next to the road with a covered basketball court a bit further down, so crowds of teens and noisy motorbikes whizzing past all day till late evening. Thumping music, roosters, and construction noise nearly every day we were there. Not recommended for noise sensitive people!

    Spacious unit, clean and well maintained. Close to both the port and Santa Fe town.
