Let me start with what’s best: the host. Felip is such a coooooool guy, the nicest host we have ever had. Really responsive, helpful, recommended stuff around town. Thank you. It was a pleasure to text with you.
Felip has everything there: detergent, dishwasher liquid, fabric softener, shampoo, showergel.
The house is charming, it has beautiful pieces of art inside and looks lovely.
However, we were there during the heatwave, and the house does not have a cooling system of air conditioning. It got really really really hot and stuffy. We are a family with kids and we had to move out because it was unhealthy for the kids.
Felip recommended keeping the windows shut during the day and opening them at night, which we did. Thank you Felip! The problem was if you opened the windows in the masterbedroom with windows to the patio you got the cooking smell from all the kitchens around.
Bathrooms. There is one bathroom that is connected to the masterbedroom. So whenever you need a bathroom at night you have to get to the masterbedroom to get to it. There is no bathroom on the top floor.
There is a bathroom on the patio, downstairs but you need to get outside to use it.
The house has quite a lot of stairs, which was quite a challenge in the heat. The bedroom on the top floor is cute but incredibly stuffy and has a weird smell.
You need a car to go to the beach (El Muro is about 20 mins away) but you cannot park in the streets closeby because prking is limited. So you need to add walking to and from the car with your beach gear.
The town itself is not the prettiest Spanish town I have seen. If you are looking for a place that is not touristic, Sa Pobla is the place, but there is a reason for that. It is unattractive, it has no park or green area.
This house is not friendly to families with small children: window on top floor that is just above floor, cables outside of wall on bottom floor, lots of stairs, noise from the street till late, no air conditioning.
There is very limited space to
leave your stuff, we had to keep everything in suitcases which was difficult.
