Apartamento Barranco Seco

This is the third apartment in this complex we have stayed in. Some would describe it as charming but most would say it was terribly outdated. Whilst the fixtures and fittings are clean and in good order, I would say nothing has been up-dated since the building was built. The 70's theme runs throughout the property with dated furnishings, decor and fittings. The floor tiles are a 70's shade of green with yellow walls. The bathroom even has a matching shower mat which must make it 30 years old. How many feet have stood on that? It is very minimalistic but not in a Scandic way, just a save money way. Where you would expect corner lights to enable reading you have to make do with a single central light. The pine chairs and sofa are almost impossible to sit on without them sliding into a reclining position. If a visitor was to encounter a week of bad weather it would be a nightmare trying to get comfortable for any length of time. The very basic kitchen could not provide enough cutlery for any more than six people and that included just 6 steak knives, no others. The apartment has never been plumbed for a washing machine for example. Everything is just to provide the absolute basic needs while other apartments in the complex have spent good money keeping up with how holiday requirements have moved on since the 1970's. This property needs a lot of money spent on it and considering the cost per stay, it is bad value for money.
