I was looking forward to staying here as Cecilia's reviews were excellent but unfortunately I had a bad experience with the host sending curt and unnecessary responses to any request.
Prior to booking I messaged the host 2 times to confirm there was parking as advertised. There was no answer and as this was a last minute booking I checked her advertised facilities where is clearly said "Free parking on premises" which there wasn't, "Paid parking off premises" - this is available but you can only park for a max of 2 hours and "free parking off premises" which I couldn't find. I ended up paying 70€ for a weeks parking which was not in my budget. When I messaged Cecilla to show her what she was advertising she still refused to accept it was her mistake so I sent photo evidence which she could not ignore and the parking was deleted from her property but there was no response or apology just the following message QUOTE:
If you are not comfortable with us you can leave whenever you want ... you are adult and free ...
AND
If you want to leave, you tell me and we arrange for you to leave ...
I requested a few items. I asked for vinegar and told her it was to descale the kettle (so much lime scale in the kettle it was breaking off into the water) and also asked if I could have tablets for the dishwasher as there was no draining board or tea towels to dry the dishes I received the following:
"I rent an apartment equipped with all the appliances I do not rent an apartment with full pantries, it's a bit frustrating that you request something that is not offered by default ....
A nice "I'm sorry we don't provide" would have been enough as this was only a request
The apartment is on the ground floor and you need to keep the blinds down which makes the place really dark or everyone passing on the very busy street can see directly into all of the rooms. There is a very popular restaurant with its tables directly outside of all of the apartment windows so its quite noisy up to about midnight , every day and the only way to stop the noise is by keeping the windows closed.. There was a very bad damp smell especially in the wardrobe and the main bedroom.
There are also positives - nicely decorated, clean, excellent facilities ie washer, dryer, dishwasher. Comfortable bed. Central heating and a/c works really well and there is an excellent wi-fi connection. It is also just a 2 minute walk to the beach.
I only met with Cecilla's husband who was very friendly and polite.
