The apartment is both large and in a good location for visitors looking to be near the beach and have good transport links to the city centre. It is however in desperate need of decoration if not renovation, with the exception of the bathroom which has been attempted.
The kitchen is full of odd glasses, odd crockery and even baking equipment. It would benefit from a de-clutter to be more focussed for holiday guests, which would also avoid the dirty cups and glasses we had to wash to be able to use. The fridge/freezer was old, very rusty and needed defrosting. The washing machine was also very old and rusty with some wet washing inside it.
The air conditioning/fans throughout were dusty/black and mouldy. We would not have wanted to turn them on if the weather had improved. The walls were marked and dusty/dirt on the door frames etc.
The conservatory is old, hard to open and has dead plants in it.
The apartment was smelly most days which was overwhelming. This came from the bathroom although some days was also in the building entrance and hallways. It was offensive.
The terrace had drainage issues and was also run down, unlike the photos, with brown rust marks over the walls and chipped paint. The cushions outside were not all there and were old, dirty/stained, thin and some even had holes over them.
The towels were a mismatch of very old/worn out items, much like the kitchen, as was the children’s toys/beach items for guests use.
There was no welcome pack on arrival with local information, emergency telephone numbers etc. There was a selection of previous guests used maps and books on a shelf which we added too.
We were unable to check in as Melanie was not in the country during our visit. We were let in by the cleaner who only spoke Spanish and asked to use a check-in app during our stay. The instructions were incomplete. Melanie confirmed we did not need to and to just leave the key as we left.
We cannot recommend this apartment in its current condition.
