The apartment itself is great, as is the location.

The floorboards a very creaky in places, so if you're a light sleeper this may not be the place for you.

On arrival, Pino the cleaner met us. She was very nice, and informed us that she needed another hour to clean the property and also informed us that a repairman was there to fix the washing machine. We left our bags and went to get something to eat.

I won't go into all the detail, but the end result is that the washing machine only got repaired on our last full day and we could not do any laundry, which we made clear at the beginning of our stay was important. We understand that things breakdown and can sometimes require time to be fixed, but when we contacted Rafael about the issue, his responses were a bit passive aggressive. He did offer a solution for Pino to do our laundry, but that never eventuated.

Although I would recommend this apartment, I would only do so on the basis that you not expect the host to be overly helpful in resolving any issues.
