“A dreamlike experience.”

“Gautam was a fantastic host! He was immediately available through messages for all of my questions about local spots and activities. Very responsive and cheerful. He checked on me during my stay through the messenger to ask how things were going & ask if I needed anything. The entire area of La Esmeralda was beautiful & better than expected. I really appreciated that there’s a lockbox for the room key do you don’t have to take it with you when you go out and there’s a gate to get to the building so only you and other guests are inside near the rooms. The room itself was wonderful. Even better than I’d hoped. I loved it so much I’m actually considering building something like it here at home. I had everything I needed and more. There were even a couple of bottles of water in the fridge when I arrived which I very much appreciated. There were plenty of towels and the bed was very comfortable. I felt safe and relaxed at Gautam’s which is so important especially as a solo female traveler. I will definitely return!” - Amy.

“I can’t wait until next summer!”

“I enjoyed my stay at Gautam’s place. It’s a very cool house and a short walk from the beach. It’s also close to a lot of great restaurants. Gautaum was very responsive and let me check in a little earlier than scheduled. I would definitely stay here again.”

“We chose this location because you can walk to the beach and it is less than 10 minutes from the airport (heading the opposite direction of commuter traffic). There is secured off-street parking”

“Unforgettable.”

“The beach is a 3 minute walk from this place and was empty in the mornings. It was worth everything! The place is clean, the bed is huge, it had everything we needed. Check in and check out was extremely easy, the neighborhood and place was super secure and safe. There were no noises or disturbances, it was extremely perfect and Gautam was the best host! He did more than he had to and replied really fast. Thanks a lot!!”
