The first thing to be aware of is that this apartment IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ANYONE WITH ANY KIND OF MOBILITY ISSUES! It is on the forth floor, up 69 stairs that literally rise vertically from the road level. The apartment is not accessible by car (unless you are arriving in a taxi) so beware of the fact that you will have to hike your luggage 700m from the nearest parking garage (parking de la Mar) to the front door of the apartment and then you have to negotiate the 69 narrow, vertical steps. One would hope that at the end of this there would be some reward in the form of a stunning studio… But nope! Not even a little bit!! The apartment is so small that there is no where to sit and eat inside. The (uncomfortable) couch (which is green not red as shown in the photos) is positioned in such a way that you have to have a rubber neck to be able to watch the TV which is not much bigger than an iPad. This means that the only place to relax is on the bed… The pillows are made of polyester and are too big for the pillowcases and don’t seem to match anything else which leaves you with the impression that the bed linen was in fact found at the back of grandmas garage! The towels were cheap, mismatched and years old! They did a good job of giving us a full body dermal abrasion! And to top it off, the bed squeaks at the slightest movement! Breathing for example. The kitchen is a disgrace! The cabinets are awful and not white as the photos show but a manky brown. The kitchen amenities are lacking to say the least! There is no coffee machine and for an apartment that allegedly sleeps 3 people (I pity whoever gets the sofa!) there is only one breakfast bowl! So much for breakfast on the balcony! Talking about the balcony, we were led to believe, from the photos and the reviews that there was a view from the balcony… The only view is of the other buildings around. We didn’t venture up to the roof terrace because our knees would have completely given out on us! All I can say is thank god there was an airconditioner!
