The apartment is wonderful. Nicely - and newly - redecorated, clean, airy, with a lovely balcony. The complex in which it is located (in the best part of town) is also lovely - quiet and beautifully maintained (the management, led by Maria, are really excellent), with stunning flowers and a great pool (large and not crowded, unlike some hotel pools). We do feel, though, that the owner should be a little less obsessed with her own concerns and rather more sympathetic to those of her guests. Every time we made a request, a heated battle ensued. She was not an easy person to deal with and that side of our experience left a lot to be desired.

Other issues:
As a self catering apartment we expected to have a microwave. We requested one and we had to hear from the owner that we were paying so little and since it was not mentioned in the advert she was not suppose to provide but she after a few exchange of unpleasant emails.
The same about the curtains.
There are no curtains in any of re windows or door to the terrace, so you have no privacy in the apartment.
The answer was that is was her 'minimalist style ' and curtains were not provided.

So, in summary, the apartment and the complex in which it is situated (and the management of the complex) were absolutely wonderful; the owner, in our view, needs to improve her client care and think more of her guests and less of herself.
