We arrived in Bonaire without having received any communication beforehand from the owner regarding checkin. We went to a nearby restaurant after going to the property and not being able to get through the access gate (very secure) and we soon received a text from Franky about what time and where to meet. The unit was very clean and on the first floor of the building was as pictured. The kitchen had the basics, but no larger baking dishes or larger cooking pots. I wasn't able to make meals such as lasagne, spaghetti, soups, etc, that were large enough to have leftovers. There were lots of great restaurants that were within walking distance as well as the shops and markets. We were forced to used the air conditioning most of the time we were in the condo because the window screens, if present, either did not fit the window properly, or had gaps where mosquitos could get in. The sliding door leading to the veranda was the worst, so we seldom used that area. Unfortunately, we were there at a time when the mosquitos were voracious. Franky was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and seemed like he had plans in place to address the issues we had. Unfortunately, he had a family emergency while we were there, but his assistant, Rick, was very helpful and answered any questions while Franky was gone. Chia, the housekeeper, made sure the apartment was spotless and came two times a week. If you are a diver, there is a Dive Friends shop very close to the unit with rinse tanks and anything else you might need. Franky provided a tub for us to use to carry our gear back and forth, which was very helpful. The complex was very secure and we felt very safe there.
