Firstly, Carles is lovely and communicated very well. He also provided some local tips and explained the area and gave us a map. His place is in a great location. Some downsides were that the photos don’t really show what it is really like. 2 of the 3 balconies look onto a construction site so it’s not a delightful view, and the other looks onto a restaurant. We also couldn’t enjoy a quiet breakfast in the morning because of the construction. But the shutters shut out the noise. Also the shower is not great (old, tiny - 1mx1m - with a clingy shower curtain). Also the apartment had an awful mouldy smell the entire time which we narrowed down to coming from the kitchen. No one else seems to have mentioned it though in their reviews so maybe this is a once-off.
THAT SAID the place is quaint and the Juliet balconies are sweet and nice when the sun is out. All the amenities you need (bar a kettle) and the location really is everything. We didn’t need something fancy as we were out exploring most of the day. The price could have been a bit cheaper for the place but all in all it was a nice time and Carles was very easy going.
