Disliked: Cleanliness
false listing
The architecture of the house is superb and the location is great. However the interiors are not as advertised. The unit showed great in the pictures with modern furniture and open layout ; but turned out to be a standard studio set up-sofa in front of the bed in front of the tv. (balineese furniture) Disappointing. Outdoors needs maintenance, and listing needs new pictures,

Perfect getaway in paradise
Beautiful accommodation in the perfect location. Furnishings have been updated and are far more pleasing than what is featured in photos on the website. Would highly recommend and would definitely return!
