A cozy bright place and great for short-term stay if you want to be near the beach. We stayed the entire month of January and mostly had a good experience with the apartment and the host. But a few things become problematic for long-term stays that are perhaps outside the control of the host and it’s just the way the place is. For example, the electric breakers keep tripping when you’re cooking, using the oven, microwave, etc because everything runs on electricity such as the stove, AC devices for heating, hot water tank etc. Also, it takes a very long time for the water to turn hot when taking shower. The building is the opposite side of the beach and the views of the buildings in front are not that nice. The apartment is right above a Main Street including car and tram traffic. So it can get noisy with windows open. And the area itself El Cabanyal can seem rough, sketchy, and sometimes seem unsafe a few streets away since it’s not fully gentrified yet plus you’ll hear loud people partying on the streets on Friday and Saturday nights but again you’re right next to the beach so it’s a trade off. Overall a decent clean place with responsive hosts and recommend it for short-term stays.
