Apartamento Mar y Montaña

The address on Booking.com is wrong and satnav couldn't find it, so driving round for 2 hours trying to find it. Eventually Signor drove to find us so we could to follow him to the house. the owners don't speak any English which was odd as they're renting mostly to English speaking people, but the lady speaks a little French as so do we, so got by. NOTE: there are around 20/25 deep cumbersome steps down to the house with no hand rails, in rain they are lethal! So NOT SUITABLE for anyone with mobility issues or illness. LOCATION: nearest shop or restaurant Argentona (10/15 mins drive) very basic, all restaurants shut most of time, so have to drive to Mataro (20/25 mins drive) to eat out and very few restaurants open in October. Nearest decent supermarket (Carrefore) also Mataro. Sadly nowhere to walk to from this house as roads are windy, narrow and no footpaths. The apartment is nice & has most things you'll need, but basic and in need of a revamp, especially kitchen, everything a bit worn and tired. Traffic noise is quite high, and boy-racers on bikes out a lot, there is a lot of noise from neighbouring houses using power tools & builders literally 12 hours a day every day, dogs barking 24/7!!You're in a dip in the hill so noise is amplified so if you want peace & quiet, this is not for you. NO HOUSE MANUAL OR HANDBOOK: not even appliance instructions or how to use oven or dishwasher,microwave nor any instructions on where to leave or take refuse and there were no residential waste bins anywhere near, so we just had to leave our refuse in the large black bin. Needs a Smart TV: you can't hook up Netflix, Prime or Apple etc. There is a TV box of some sort but no instructions and all Spanish programmes anyway, so you can't really watch TV unless like us you can hook up your computer to it.

It is necessary to make an audit of the gas stove. Everything else is great.
