Mario's apartment was very suitable for our long-term (2 months) needs. It is spacious, unlike many in the city centre. The heating/cooling system is excellent and was a boon this Spring when we had both unusually cold and unusually warm weather! For a long stay it was very useful to have a separate kitchen unlike many city-centre apartments which have a living room with kitchen area. The terrace, with its lovely view was very pleasant for outdoor dining and surprisingly quiet. The furniture, particularly the sofa, although showing its age a little, is comfortable and there is good clothes storage in the main bedroom. The building itself is spotless and very well cared for, very quiet and conveniently located. Particularly for people without a car the no. 3 bus terminus is just over the road, so you can easily reach the beaches at El Palo and Pedregalejo and as far as Calle Larios in the city centre for shopping. If you do have a car, there is off-road parking by the apartment and it may also be possible to book a space in the attached garage.
Mario is an extremely responsive and generous host. A couple of appliances developed faults while we were staying and he immediately made arrangements for prompt repairs or replacement.
This is not a typical Airbnb with minimalist, impersonal decor. It is very much a family apartment with its collection of much-loved furniture, books and some personal mementoes. If you are comfortable with this and would enjoy a homely, well-functioning apartment in a quiet, untouristy location we think that you would be very happy staying at Mario's apartment.
