We stayed at Alberto’s house for 10 days and the property is just as it looks online.
The property is located close to lots of cafes, bars and restaurants and best of all el mercat, the local market open Tuesday-Saturday. If you want to shop there for local meats, produce, cheeses, olives, nuts, etc, it is amazing!…. but beware the house is not equip with the necessities to cook with (spices, oil, etc).
The location is roughly half a mile from the beach, not a bad walk. The neighborhood felt safe to us to walk around even at night.
Our major issue, which other reviews mentioned and wish that we had paid closer attention to was the mold/smell. The smell becomes worse after it rains which it did several times throughout our stay. We have friends that live in the neighborhood and they immediately noticed the smell upon walking into the apartment as well. It became a huge issue for us and eventually caused us some respiratory issues by the end of the trip.
One other minor issue is that the sliding glass doors are incredibly difficult to get fully closed. We had to leave the bedroom door cracked on multiple occasions simply because we could not get it closed and woke up with multiple mosquito bites as a result.
Overall our stay wasn’t bad, but definitely should not have had to deal with the smell/mold issue. That should be made a priority to be taken care of.
