B & B caution

11 years ago

Use some 'due diligence' when choosing a place to stay. We found the search frustrating and was taken in by an add promising $300mo
only finding that all those were taken and now it was $550mo. We are here also, looking at moving to Ecuador
After a life of traveling in 15 countries we have never been so insultingly treated.
The promoter of this B & B
and relative demanded we pay more after the first week
accusing us of using to much
gas to cook one meal a day.
When we refused they turned it off so we went to bed on cheese and crackers. They wouldn't talk to us for days.
We moved to another place a few blocks away that is a real mansion for $210mo
We just didn't know what was available until we met some Canadians walking around.
No more sharing bathrooms,
no more dogs barking all night, no more paying for soap; they even ask me to violate the law in letting them
copy my language program.
Her name is Maria Pilar Porras of Quito/Cuenca. She
also does not own property so you will not have homeowners insurance if something is missing or you
should suffer any damage or
loss. Beware
