Together with our baby my husband and I spent four weeks at Margarita's house during October and November and we couldn't be happier.
**The place**
The house is big and inviting. The kitchen has everything we needed to sustain ourselves for a month. The terraces are perfect for eating, reading, and sunbathing, drying laundry, crawling around and playing. There is even a gas grill for outdoor barbeques.
The living room with its two sofas and big dining table is perfect for relaxing and socializing.
The rooms were big and comfortable. We were especially delighted that there was even a separate room for the baby with a pack’n’play (travel bed) and the kitchen was equipped with the Ikea Antilop high chair (including tray).
Once the weather got colder we used the electric radiators to keep the rooms warm.
**The host**
We were greeted by Margarita upon arrival (she was flexible when our flight was delayed). She showed us around and explained everything. Inside the house fruit, juice, mineral water and milk were waiting for us.
All questions we had (both prior to and during our stay) were answered by Margarita very quickly.
**Location**
Just a five-minute walk away is a beautiful little beach, which we visited daily.
The residential area around the house is pretty and quiet.
A short car ride away are the towns of Canyamel (several restaurants, bars, a big sandy beach…) as well as Cala Rajada (many restaurants, shops, ice cream parlors, two beautiful sandy beaches…). Cala Rajada is where we did our shopping. Here you can find two big supermarkets (Lidl and Mercadona) as well as a big drugstore (Müller), pharmacies and other shops.
We were at Margarita's place during off-season so we can't say anything about how the area changes once it's peak tourist season though.
**Our experience**
The first thing that we noticed upon entering Margarita's house was how amazingly clean everything was. The stone floors reflected the light, all dishes and utensils in the kitchen were spotless and all textiles, including the comforters on the bed and the blankets on the living room sofa had a fresh, newly washed scent. All towels, bed linens were ironed to hotel standard perfection and we received new ones every week.
We traveled with a 9 months old baby so for us it was important that it was safe for baby to crawl around and play. We found it very easy to baby proof the house. There were no sharp corners or furniture that could fall on baby. We used duct tape to tape over a few electrical sockets that were in baby’s reach and put away some decorative items but other than that it was possible for us to let the baby explore freely. Even the terraces were safe for a small child.
All in all we had a wonderful experience and we are happy to warmly recommend Margarita's house to other travellers.
