Issues with apartment:
- Apartment smelled like raw sewage the entire time! Told host multiple times, even suggested a possible issue and this was never resolved or properly addressed. Host agreed it smelled.
- Dirt on floor on arrival in entire apartment but we told the host and they did send someone to mop.
- The electric hot water heater and 2 outlets are INSIDE THE SHOWER. Spain is 220v so don't you dare get over-spray on the outlets! Completely unsafe. Showering is taking your life in your hands.
- The hot water heater is set at 65C (150F, recommended is 120F). It's so hot that you can't adjust shower water to warm. You get cold, cool or scalding.
- Had to request that the AC be turned on by host and they controlled unit in bedroom. (not in listing)
- Even though unit has washer/dryer, you have to request and pay $5 each load (not in listing).
- Host said street parking was fine but we were towed. No signs about a street market on Thursday and that was $160 to get our car back.
- The area is really run down. After check-in the host says "there are a lot of gypsies in the area - but it's safe just watch out." That didn't make us feel safe.
- The apartment had nowhere to sit except on a bed. This is obvious in pictures, just a detractor.
- The host will spam you every day with what seem to be scheduled messages about the apartment - the same info that is in the listing or in the reservation. Maybe this is to get good "communication" scores.
- Very thin curtains and Spanish Persianas (blinds) did not work so light comes in.
- If someone else turns on the light in the atrium, the bedroom is lit up due to frosted glass door - and you have no access to turn it off.
Good things:
- industrial size toilet paper holders and plenty of toilet paper
- plenty of towels (although they were quite small)
- clean sheets
- relatively close to beach (10 min walk)
- relatively comfortable beds
Overall I would not recommend staying here until the issues are resolved.
