We loved the decoration of the red apartment we stayed in. Very cute and personal, and absolutely everything you think you might need was there, like oil for cooking, coffee, tea, spices, etc. Helga even provided soap for the washing machine and drinking water! (it is safe to drink the tap water, it just doesn't taste very nice). The bed and the couch were very comfortable, the shower was ok. We did not use the tv much, also because the receiver made a noise which i found unpleasant, but the internet was fast enough to stream films on my computer. The big plus is, of course, the sunroof terrace! How wonderful to have your breakfast in the sun, with a view of the sea on one side and the rice fields on the other...
We simply loved her four legged family... the dog, Luna, and the cats: old boy Erwin, fatty Frits, cuddly Paul and rascal Freddy... (Paul was my favorite, such a sweet cat!) and then there is all the neighbors cats as well. A comment maybe for people who don't like cats; you don't have to interact with them- we kept the door to the apartment open because they were welcome and they walked in from time to time (the cats, not the dog)- but you don't have to do that of course. However, access to the house is through Helga's main door, and there is usually one or two of them around, so it is near impossible to avoid them all together (but then, why would anybody want to?;-)
Finally, there is Helga herself of course; she could not have been more friendly and/or helpful. Picked me up on arrival, drove me to the airport, even offered to drive me to the supermarket for my groceries if i needed them. Supplied everything we needed (like the bicycles) and always ready for a chat. She is a beginner at English (but taking lessons, i'm sure she'll get there), but between my little bit of German and Spanish, and her little bit of English, we managed just fine.
We loved our stay, and for that: vielen dank Helga! :-) :-) :-)
