Herve, Thank you again for your stay. I'm sorry that the high winds impacted your time in SJDS. Although the house does not offer a four burner stove, the single burner is sufficient for most guests (and can easily be moved if needed). I've taken your suggestion to heart and will be adding a couple bars for hanging clothes (below the existing corner shelves in each room). Appreciate the idea. Hopefully the rest of your Nicaraguan visit touring other parts went well.

I'm glad that you enjoyed your time at my house!

Bruce, I am sorry that you found staying in the center of SJDS to not be for you. True to a typical Latin-American beach town, noise is part of the culture. This is particularly so during the holiday festivities of December and Easter Week. Celebrations, parades, bands in the streets (at all hours), fireworks, and residents in "an extra festive mood" all add to the noise levels (and also drives the dogs in town nuts). My guess is you enjoyed your Nicaragua visit much better at the hotel 10-15 minutes out of town (which worked for you because you had rented a vehicle). If a quieter return visit is ever of interest, I highly recommend booking a time period when the town is less lively (definitely not during New Years, Easter, June, middle of Sept, or Dec).
