The balconies are wonderful for sitting in the sun and very comfortable. You have the choice of the front balcony in the morning and the back balcony in the afternoon. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and very clean and the location is perfect. Communication with the staff who run the building is also very swift and very good. They respond very quickly. There are two bathrooms and plenty of hot water and everything that you really need in the kitchen. It’s very spacious and we were three friends with three separate rooms so it worked perfectly for us.

− We really didn’t get on with the electronic key. We could only use it on one phone which meant we had to stay together, normally when we travel we sometimes split up and pass the key from person to person to the one that’s likely to get back first. Because it was on my telephone, we couldn’t do that. Several times it wouldn’t open the apartment door, and I had to shut my phone down and reload the app in order to get the key to work. I have an iPhone 17 which is the latest so don’t really know what the problem was. Also, I got a notification to say the key had been removed at 9:58 am on our final day, even though checkout was at 11 am. That meant that had we not already left we wouldn’t have been able to get back in to get all our gear before heading to the airport. The shower in the ensuite bathroom was very difficult to use because the showerhead did not lock and was broken so the only way to have a shower was to hold on to the shower cable, it’s quite difficult to have a one-handed shower! I am sure if I had contacted the relevant person it would’ve been fixed but for the short time that we stayed it was a very small issue to deal with. There is a reasonable request to take the rubbish to the bins in the street when you leave, and when I asked where they were I was told they were near the apartment but not given a location. We saw lots of recycling and waste bins in several squares, but none anywhere near our apartment, so we just put the small amount of rubbish that we had into an ordinary street bin rather than the big recycling bins. It would be good if there was a map or a street address of where to find the bin. We walked up and down lots of the streets near our apartment and didn’t see any.

We loved the location and the terraces on the property. We likes that it had a washer and great air conditioning.

− Getting into the property was such a hassle. The door app they use sucks and it would not work. I emailed and called the property owners several times before they responded. They then tried to tell me over the phone all the things i was doing wrong. In the end the app was just crappy. I had to asked several times for them to send someone over to let us into our apartment. After 45 minutes of waiting in the hall, they sent someone with a key card. We were told that this actually happens all the time.... you think they would be prepared. The dryer was broken and the property was very dull with no color, personal touches or pictures on the wall. It was the most expensive place we stayed in spain so i was expecting a bit more from the property.
