For me, the best things about the property are the location and the amazing view of the sea. David as a host was relatively responsive which was appreciated, however, as he lived in the same building, there were naturally pros and cons that came with the host living right below the guest. E.g.: (a) Over my 4-night stay, I was given quite short notice (on my 2nd day) that on the 3rd day morning at 8.30/9am somebody would come to the flat and inspect the light and perhaps electricity, and simply expected me to be ready to let the inspector come in (b) David wrote to me to tell me to stop the "excessive use" of the air-con because he could see some water coming down from the balcony of the flat, when the air-con was in fact only on for just over 30min. I'm not someone who requires a lot of air-con at all, but we are talking about Cadaques in the middle of July which really could get hot especially given the orientation of the property! (c) Finally, the balcony does have an amazing view to the sea, however, it's right next to the balcony of the neighbour which is his relative (and there was only a small wall separating the two balconies meaning that if you could totally see each other). I was lucky that for the first two days the neigbour wasn't around and I enjoyed the privacy, however the 2nd two days felt slightly restricted, and the final morning David was in the neighbour's balcony too - to be fair he did warn me that he might come to the balcony and that I might see him. However, it didn't bode quite so well when th expectation was that I'd have the entire place to myself.
As someone who's generally had very positive experiences with airbnb hosts, I'm slightly disappointed with this experience and it's with regret that I leave 3 stars out of 5 for this property. Despite this and perhaps some unfortunate lost-in-translation between David and me, I was able to enjoy the flat and had a really wonderful time in Cadaques.
