"We’ve stayed at many places and enjoyed many great hosts. We often don’t write reviews because life gets busy, but today is the exception. This property is fantastic and arguably the best value in El Salvador! Amazing home. We felt right at home. Place is very good for kids…we have twin boys 8 years old and stayed for 7 nights. The kitchen had everything we needed…even cold/hot water dispenser. The host had provided information about the VRBO before we arrived and was helpful during our stay....
