Not all good but not all bad.
We stayed in the lower apartment from December 13 to January 10th. It was one of the cheapest places we could find at the time we were looking back in April. We learned while staying there, that you could find better accommodation at a better price if you were staying long term [month or more].
The worst is the smell from the sewer that often ruined the enjoyment of being in or outside of the house. The stove was a problem because it was damaged and did not have a level cooking surface or oven. The water was a problem because we could not drink from the tap and the water jug filter was useless. We had to be careful going in and out of the doors because they had no outside handles. You could easily close the back door too hard and lock yourself out.
The good thing about the house was that it was close to town and surf beaches that you could walk to. [We would not recommend the beach "within 150 m" of the house due to dirty and smelly water.] They house was clean and had a good laundry lady across the road. The cement construction reduced the noise of any celebrations that went through the night.
We enjoyed the Bocas Brewery, the Guari Guari restaurant and Surf Break at Paunch beach - all within walking distance.
Stayed 30 nights in Dec 2016
