We were given an apartment with a sea view. The beach is a few dozen meters from the building, so the location is excellent. The apartment has an interesting layout, is double-sided, and the bedroom offers beautiful mountain views. There's a large, free parking lot opposite, though it can get quite crowded in high season. The apartment itself is decent and relatively clean. Unfortunately, they forgot to clean the balcony. As for the downsides, the shower (shower tray) is in rather poor condition, and the bathroom itself has a ventilation problem. The kitchenette is old and looks a bit neglected. For us, the biggest downside was the lack of storage space. There is a small wardrobe and a coat rack in the bedroom, but for four people, it's definitely not enough; there are no shelves or cabinets. Despite a few shortcomings, I recommend the apartment overall.

Great location. The door was a challenge every time we tried to open it. And the staff were great at fixing the shower within a few hours after telling them.

Disliked: Amenities
Not specified in the description, but parking is available at the nearvy's beach's parking lot. It's free and it's about 1 min on foot to the apartment after. The apartment was freshly cleaned when we got there, towels and rags frkm the dishes were still wet, dishes in the cupboard were still bet. It's a very very tiny space but liveable for 3 people. The teflon frying pans were all scratched up so not healthy to use and some utensils were still dirty. The rest was okay. It's alright if you just want a place to stay and there's no cooking involved.

Estancia agradable pero paredes finas

A pesar de que las paredes eran muy finas y que la nochevieja no pudimos dormir por culpa de los vecinos… el apartamento esta bastante bien, tiene lo que necesitas y el wifi, calefacción y agua caliente funcionan a las mil maravillas… volveria denuevo
