This apartment was in a good location in the heart of Santa Cruz. Easy access to the alcazar and cathedral. Unfortunately there were some things that should have been taken care of before our visit, and some things that may have just been bad luck.
There are 2 showers, both of which had clogged drains, causing water to flow out all over the floor. I was able to manually unclog one of them, but I shouldn’t have had to!
There were 3 single-room air conditioning units, but only one of them was working, and the one that was leaked water into the bedroom and soaked the floors. We had to put towels down to make sure the water didn’t get everywhere. Now this May have just been bad luck that the air conditioning broke at a bad time (temperate a were routinely above 40 C, 104 F), but when someone came out to fix it, they were unable to. Now, they did give us the use of the vacant apartment next door, which they also manage, and that ac worked, and this was a sufficient solution, but with 2 days left in our stay they said they needed the second apartment back since they were renting it out. At this point they had STILL not fixed the air conditioning in the original apartment, and either couldn’t or wouldn’t until after we left. We had to leave and make other arrangements for our last 2 days because we could t stand the heat.
All that being said, this is a lovely apartment, and under different circumstances we certainly could have enjoyed a wonderful vacation here.
