10/10 Excellent
"The property was well presented. The property managers (Rochele & Leo) were very friendly, helpful and accessible, especially when they visited and waited with me in emergency and drove me back home. Air conditioning was good. I expected the villa to face the waters as shown. Also, not easily accessible to local transport. Overall lovely place!"
