Not So Charming
My wife and I have been travelling internationally for over 50 years. We have never been more disppointed with any of our accomodations as we were with the "Charming Santa Isabela" property. The written description and the photos on the website are incredibly misleading. Unless all of the lights are on, as they are in the photos, there is no natural light in the unit at all, unless you leave the door open. There are only three small windows in the unit that open on to an enclosed dark and not so pleasant smelling "patio." When we opened the door to the unit, were were overcome by the strong smell of sewage that permeated the unit. No amount of cleaning anything would have eliminated that odor. The written description of the unit mentions enjoying the "nightlife" of the area. One picture that was not included in the photo gallery online was a picture of the very large sign posted by the door that warns people, in Spanish and English, not to open the door at night to anyone unless given permission by email from the rental agency. It is obviously not a neighborhood that invites people to safely enjoy the nightlife. Nor does the warning make you feel comfortable with the need to leave the door open to get any natural light or fresh air into the unit. We did not stay in the unit. When the rental agency refused our request to find us another, more acceptable space, regardless of the price, we found our own accomodations elsewhere.
