It is what it says that it is, I will say that. In my opinion, an accommodation such as this appeals to a very specific kind of traveler. If you want an authentic Tulum, Mexico lodging then this will probably be for you. What I mean by authentic is no A/C, few amenities, and feeling at peace with the surroundings. It is a nice apartment for non-discerning guest that is looking for quiet and probably wants to cook meals and explore. There isn't beach access and you will have to find transportation anywhere you want to go. Walking is an option if you don't mind a busy,narrow beach road with cars, bikes, pedestrians, and people hanging out in the street. It is secluded, and hard to find so if you are coming from the airport (2hr drive) get the shuttle from the host. Like I said, specific taste for a stay like this.
