“You pay for the stunning views”

You pay for the stunning views The owners, as usual in this country, are very nice, very kind and helpful. The views from the small living room / kitchen as well as the master bedroom is stunning. The cabin is smaller than we expected and pretty basic. We had very limited water pressure and almost no hot water in the shower. We did not wash our hair, thanks the lack of water we could not have rinsed the soap away. There is no kettle, hence we used the … thing. It resembles a one pot electric cooker and needs approximately 20 minutes to boil half a cup of water. Later that day we where given a kettle, which improved things. Carlos, our landlord, claims the tap water to be fresh mountain water. And up to a specific point he is probably right with that. The specific point will be the tank in which he stores the water. With outside temperature above 20 degrees at daytimes, that tank is a breeding ground for things, micro-biologists are interested in. If those things actually improve your digestion is up to the test. The water from the tap is greenish and I would not use it without boiling. There is no drawer or shelf or anything you could store clothes in. So we used the second bedroom which is packed with a bunk bed and a single bed. Same in the bathroom, no space to put anything. The checkin was massively disappointing. We received a message the night before, that the room was ready for use. So we started our day early and arrived before noon, just to find the entire lodge locked. As there is no cellphone network in the area, we had to borrow a neighbours wifi and sent a message, that was answered hours later. So all we could was sit and wait… With the cabins only modest equipment, the shower with limited water, a health risk assigned to the tap water, I find the cabin with 80 USD we had to pay massively overpriced. But keep in mind: the view is amazing and the landlord very kind.
