We stayed at the apartment for 9 days in December/ January. The apartment is well-located, with a bakery one door away, and a supermarket very nearby. The apartment was spacious, very clean, and the quality of the furniture was good, and the apartment is well-equipped.

The listing says it is suitable for 12 people. I think that is if you hire the other apartment in the same block. There are two bedrooms, and a double sofa bed in the living room, so 6 people would be comfortable, no more.

Unfortunately we had some significant problems in the apartment. It rained hard while we were there and the external bedroom door was not watertight and so our room flooded. The cooker and sink kept giving us electric shocks. There was no hot water, and it took 5 days to be fixed. The water supply also stopped working and we had no water in the apartment for 2 days. This is not pleasant for the toilets. Even when the hot water did work, it could only do 2 x 5 minute showers. Ricardo was apologetic, and it is fair to say that it would be difficult to find workers between Christmas and new year, and the weather was bad while we were there. However, it seems that these were all known issues, and it took about half our holiday to resolve them. I asked Ricardo about a small refund to recognise that we had been inconvenienced, but he did not reply.

There is much to recommend about this apartment, and in the summer I think it would be a fine place to stay. I make the observations above so that should these issues arise during your stay, you have already been made aware of them.
