Over Promised - Heavy of the Hyperbolic Language
This condo was new, clean, in a terrific location. Beach and city close at hand. Restaurants and bars, groceries, all nearby. Sadly the kitchen was sparsely outfitted, two small saucepans, and one small frying pan. No flipper (which made getting a fried egg out of a pan with a spoon, challenging), no colander. When a larger pot for boiling pasta and a colander were requested we were told they would not be provided. Ironically, there was a cookbook on the counter at check-in. Impossible to cook any of the recipes it contained with what the host provided. Recommended for a short stay if your preference is dining out.
