A lot of great things about this apartment....and a few little disappointments.
What's great:
1) The location is un-beatable. Just 2 min walk to the wonderful Mercado Central, shops, bars, cafes, restaurants all around. You can go for short walks in any direction and it's like a voyage of discovery in the beautiful old town.
2)The apartment is tastefully decorated, both with furnishings and lighting, so it's a really nice place to be.
3) The bed is comfy
4) The kitchen has everything you need for self catering if that's what you want to do.
5) While the turnaround time on communication wasn't always great, at least the communication that I did receive was pleasant and friendly. E.g. for logistical reasons I ran out of time to empty the bins before leaving, and they were fine about it.
Not so great:
1) My host went on holidays and I was given no less than SIX different people (and phone numbers) to contact while I was away. At first I had one person but then she gave me details for two more, and then another two names were supplied for a couple of tasks. That was really inconvenient and confusing. I just want one person to contact if I need anything.
2) After no less than 35 hrs in transit from Australia, I finally arrived at the agreed time and no-one was there to meet me. I waited in the 33 degree heat for 20 mins before the person arrived. Because I'd just landed I hadn't organised a SIM for my phone yet, so I had no way of contacting anyone. I had trusted that they'd be there at the agreed time but when they weren't it started to get a bit stressful because I had no means of communication because to turn on mobile roaming on my Australian phone, I needed internet. It's such a relief to finally arrive after such a long journey, so to have that stress when you're so tired and so looking forward to being able to relax, was really not what I needed.
3) Speaking of communication, the turnaround time for messages was, with one exception very slow.
4) While the apartment is lovely, it's clear that this airbnb is a business, not a passion like some places where the owners are very attentive to details. For example when I arrived it was immediately obvious that the kettle was faulty - the lid was sticking up in the air and it wouldn't close. That suggests that no-one checks the apartment between customers, except maybe the cleaner who perhaps doesn't care enough to report it. Another thing that gave this impression was the cheap industrial sized body wash and shampoo in the shower, but no conditioner. When you pay good money for an airbnb you do come to expect the little things are taken care of. I was there for 7 nights, but there were only 2 coffee capsules, some of the restaurant recommendations are out of date with restaurants no longer being open, things like that.
5) While you do have to expect a bit of noise in such a central place (and to be fair, the window-doors are pretty good at blocking out the noise) it can be party central nearby and parties go LATE in Spain. On my first two nights I was woken up with a fright some time after 3am by what seemed to be an entire bar full of people yelling some phrase over and over at the top of their voices. If you're a light sleeper (which I'm not), bring some earplugs.
Despite the less-than-good things, I did really enjoy my time in this apartment, and if the caveats above don't worry you too much, then I'd totally recommend it!
