10/10 Excellent
"Casa Vicente exceeded our expectations! The house was clean, and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Susana the host was very sweet and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. She provided a lot of information about Flores Island, such as restaurants and tour suggestions. Loved the big bathroom, the shower was great. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. There is a private patio area that was nice to relax and take in the view. Appreciated having the dedicated driveway to park on, and very convenient to have the washing machine right in the kitchen area, with a line outside to dry the clothes. Thank You Susana! We highly recommend to stay here, and enjoyed our time spent on Flores Island."
