Ocean View Condo Near Downtown and Malecon Boardwalk

The condo was exactly as promised, spacious and well equipped. The hosts, and property manager Jesus, were very accommodating and responsive to questions. The neighborhood was challenging, steeply uphill from downtown/beach, and not quiet -- roosters and dogs at all hours, with a chicken farm directly across the street -- but safe and secure and an overall great experience. Private pool 10 steps from the door was a nice bonus.

Since my comments are not going to promote the location in a positive light....I will be brief on the positive items. The property manager (Jesus) was great very prompt. Explained different items to us regarding the property. We enjoyed the spacious condo, pool, kitchen was very complete with amenities. However, it was not restful for us with a main street being a through street it was noisy into the late evening. We did read past reviews regarding Chickens and Dogs without great concern. However, Chickens and Roosters crowed on average of 15 hours per day which could be heard as if the windows were open. Dogs barked at the same frequency. I wish we had known there is a 3 tiered chicken coup directly across the street. We might have only stayed a week. Because our next location was 3 streets over with none of the distractions. Owners responsive - however, there is nothing to do with that many chickens. Lovely place if not for all the noise.

Very attentative hosts. Lovely unit, well appointed.

We stayed at this property for one week. I read the reviews about the condo was up a hill but didnt visualize how steep the hill was....LOL! We tried to get a taxi to take us up the hill a few times and they refused for whatever reason, so we trekked up the hill. There are roosters in the area and they start crowing between 4 & 5am and continue throughtout the day. So, if you want to sleep late, this is not the place for you. In our opinion, we didnt think the condo was so clean. There were dirty towels hanging behind the bathroom door and garbage left behind from the last occupants. Overall, the condo and location was okay but we deinitely will not return to this condo.
