Joaquim is a great host and made sure he gave us all necessary advice while we were leaving the house e.g. ensuring all windows are tightly closed with the shutters properly to be downed, to be careful with our keys etc. However, on our first night, the heater did not work and there was hardly any warm water in the morning to bathe. We had to call Joaquim the next morning to have this sorted. He gave us all instructions barring letting us know the instructions for the heater and water heater. He was kind enough to come down to the house and ensure it was working, don't know what he did but he maintains that there was nothing at fault. The next morning and the day after it all worked fine. Wonder what actually went wrong. Apart from this, the apartment is in a fantastic location (2mins from the beach), the host keeps a bottle of water in the fridge. There area couple of bars down the road as well as restaurants. The area also has a bus stop in walking distance as well as a metro station connecting the apartment to Line 4 (Pobleneau). Enjoyed our stay!
