The location of Borja’s place is really great - close the beach, shops, bakeries and bus lines. The apartment itself is nice, with a sunny terrace and although it is a little worn it was clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a very easy check-in process and some of the information wasn’t up-to-date. We were travelling with our 8 month old daughter so some these issues would have been less important otherwise.
Instead of an in-person check in we were given instructions via text. Usually this would be fine, but as the apartment has a car parking spot and parking nearby is a challenge it would have been really great to have someone show us to the parking spot first so that we didn’t need to take several trips (note the spot and garage are quite narrow so require some careful driving with a larger/longer car). The remote for the garage door was also low on battery so it took us 10 minutes of battery rotating and button pressing to get the door to open, each time..
Second, there is an elevator but there are 2 small flights of stairs to it and then another flight of stairs to the attic where the apartment is - usually this would be fine but with a baby and pram this would have been very useful information to know of when booking.
Third, we asked (and confirmed before arrival) if we could have a cot for our daughter. However, there wasn’t one when we arrived and we had to follow-up in order to get one before our little one went to sleep.
Fourth (although minor and maybe just unluckily), there was no washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, shampoo or laundry detergent.
This unfortunately made the first hours of our stay less easy going than we had hoped for, and a little frustrating as most could be sorted with just some earlier information.
The remainder of the stay was really nice, we loved the location and could relax on the terrace when the little one was sleeping :)
