    The location was perfect, right downtown. The apartment was very clean. It would be worth mentioning there are 20 stairs to climb with your luggage. Also one window was missing a screen.

    The room was clean comfortable and convenient. Great location to walk the streets right out the door. Fun shops and cafes and friendly people. Short drive to scenic beaches. No yard but easy to walk the dog.

    Awesome location and was beautiful inside. Wished there was AC and missing some small conveniences like salt and pepper but was overall a great experience

    Montera Penthouse is bright and spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. It has everything you need! Everything is within walking distance or a short drive. It's also nice that it faces the back so you don't get the traffic and noise of Main Street. Plus, you can catch a good sunset from the back deck if you can't get down to the beach in time. We really enjoyed it here!
