It was miserable from the beginning. The very kind manager met me when we landed but she also realized how hot and muggy the house was also. Then it the worst began, she told me that the air condition units in all four bedrooms (but one room) were broken. They have multiple properties but did not offer us a contingency plan so they gave us temporary (very loud) air condition units. The ridiculous part is that we had to leave the windows and doors open to vent the hot exhaust air. Counterproductive because it was so hot in the summer and we could not open the curtains because they were used as air boundary between the outside. Pathetic. And because it was so hot, I had to figure out how to cool the kitchen and living room. The manager service were "kind" enough to give me tape and fans to use and put my engineering experience to work. Now the worst part, yes the worst part, and not reported were the controlled trash fires around the property so the house smelled like a smoke-filled room every morning. I developed a bad cough because of it.
Now different but to add to the experience because of the location, it was hard to get a taxi service. The property manager also expected us to walk the trash over half a mile to a dumpster in the local grocery store parking lot. Thank goodness we enjoyed a great time with friends at our best friend wedding. Salud!
