Pilar and Felipe were very helpful leading up to our arrival and they arranged to have their housekeeper meet us at the apartment when we arrived, as they were both at work. I then spoke to Felipe on the phone upon arrival, and he went over everything, as well as directed us to the very useful and informative apartment guide they have all ready to go for visitors.

The apartment was massive and was very beautiful. It was a bit noisy with the upstairs children and while the outer deck was beautiful, it overlooked a playground which got quite noisy and made it a bit difficult to sit and relax with a glass of wine. But the apartment itself was wonderful - well equipped kitchen, great water pressure in the showers, comfortable couches, comfortable beds, loads of space and charm (loved all the records!)... the wifi was a bit slow but it might have been better in certain parts of the apartment than others.

While the apartment is fairly central and beside a great market, the area can be a bit dodgy, depending on which direction you take when you leave the house. Nonetheless, there were lots of cafes and bars nearby and Playa Mayor was within walking distance so these are definitely perks.
