I lived in Villa Brigitte which is located between Sosua and Cabarette for 3 months. It's a private villa with apartments and houses for short term and long term rent. When we were looking for an apartment for rent in Sosua area in September we visited this place. I didn't like that the owner (Florence Stuckmann) wanted to keep either my passport or driver's license for the period of our living there. But apartments looked good and I decided to stay there. Unfortunately living in Villa Brigitte was not as good as we thought. Almost everything didn't function properly or didn't work for certain period of time during these 3 months: wi-fi internet didn't work half of the time, cable tv box exploded (short circuit) and they brought another but also broken, air conditioner didn't work at all for the last 3 weeks, toilet was leaking, ... After a couple of days living there we unfolded sofa in the living room. We found there vomit left by those who lived in this apartment before us. When we showed it to Florence's husband and asked to clean it (Florence was in Santiago at that time) he said that we pay such a small price for this one-bedroom apartment (1300 USD / month) that we should clean it ourselves. Cleaning once a week was already included in this price but nobody cleaned it. The day we were finally leaving this place Florence came into an apartment and said that microwave is so dirty (of course we cooked food there) that I have to pay additional 30 USD for cleaning. This additional charge seems to be absolutely unfair because: 1) cleaning was included, not my responsibility and 2) it was not so dirty. I told her that I will not pay it. When I asked her to return my driver's license she didn't do it and started to threaten me.
