The house is very clean with good attention to detail. One drawback is it is on the main road for entering and exiting the island. You can hear every car, siren, horn, radio, truck, motorcycle and even pedestrians and bicyclists. There is never a break in the noise. If you are staying with a group who listens to background music, tv, or constant conversation, you might not be bothered by the traffic. But if you are looking for a place to rest with a good book or quiet contemplation, then this isn't the house for you. We had to check out two days early to find a quieter place to stay because the noise became too much for us. We wrote the owner to explain why we were leaving early, but he said our experience did not sound normal to him, that "even though there is some street noise, it is usually about pretty mild." "Some street noise" suggests there are also moments of quiet, but there was hardly any quiet, except for a few seconds here or there, in between the constant rush of cars. And it was not "mild," for us it was nerve wracking. Again it is a great price, so if you don't mind constant traffic noise, then I recommend this house.
