Pros: This place was a lot cuter than the pictures showed. The sitting area was large and the outside patio was small but adorable! There was hot water, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location is UNBEATABLE. So perfect. Close to the main square, bus stop, tourist office, and the front door opens to a super cute pedestrian street. The parking spot was also very convenient and was a HUGE bonus for us!
Cons: The compost container (under the sink) had a very foul smell which we noticed as soon as we walked in. At least I think it was a compost container because I didn’t open it. I understand the importance of one and I have one at home ( that I keep outside) but I wish it had been emptied prior to our arrival. All-in-all that wasn’t a deal breaker.
The main reason why I gave 4 stars and not 5 stars (and why my husband thinks I should give 3 stars), is the how loud the apartment above us was. It started at 11pm and was constant until 3:30am with pacing, sliding doors, drawers slamming and dragging furniture across the the floor. After 11pm there should be a common courtesy about noise level. It was very strange. Our first day felt wasted because we were so tired from being kept awake all night. However the host was lovely and handled it the best she could. She mentioned that it had not happened before, that she would call the neighbor, and if it happens again that she will call the police for us. The second night the neighbor had company over and they blared music, sang loudly, and argued a little, ... but this stopped at around 11:30pm so we were able to get some sleep. Very disappointing though because we came here during winter to avoid the crowds and noise . We just wanted to stay in a sleepy town on the coast, do some hiking and relax.
Other than the noise and the kitchen odor, this place was adorable.
