The apartment is well maintained and clean. Additional cleaning procedures are in place to ensure a safe and clean private space. Pool area with sun loungers and outdoor shower. Pool is shared with me, but I hardly use it and typically work during weekdays. I live in the house adjacent to the casita. I am living on Aruba for 14 years and work in the tourism industry. When I am not working, my door is open and I would love to help you with tips and advice to make your vacation even better! Feel free to pass by for a chat or tips (or e-mail me in advance :)) and for dog lovers, some cuddles with my dogs 🐶 The apartment is located in San Barbola Residence, a more upscaled residential neighborhood. It is centrally located about 5 minutes form the airport, just off the Watty Vos Boulevard highway connecting from the airport to Eagle beach (10 min) and Palm beach and close to the center of Oranjestad (5min drive). From th apartment you also are in Santa Cruz within 7 minutes and in Savaneta in 10 minutes and San Nicolas in 15 minutes. I recommend to rent a car so you can explore Aruba on your own time. as Aruba's public transportation is not great and does not run often and its a bit far to the bus stop. I live in the house next to the casita. The apartment overlooks the pool and there is a wooden separation between the house and the apartment for privacy. I have 2 dogs that live at my house. They are in the garden and cannot come to the apartment if you like to have a dog free zone. Unless you are a dog lover, then dog cuddles and kisses are possible lol as my dogs love to meet my guests. Electricity is pretty expensive on Aruba, in the rental the A/C consumption during the night is included, if guests want to use the A/C also during the day and /or evening I will apply a surcharge of $5-7.50 per day paid on site directly. As the apartment is registered at the tax office, I am oblidged to add 12.5% tourist tax on the paid nightly rate and cleaning fee as well as $3 levy per night. These need to be paid in us$ at check-in directly on site to me as I cannot add taxes to my listing pricing and to avoid further transaction fees.
