Casa Monovar

The main setback I would say is there is no freezer. Even a freezer drawer would be helpful to keep a cool box for our food bag to take a picnic to the beach or to keep some ice creams since it was very hot during our stay (there was a heat wave so it went to 45 degrees). It's on a first floor with no lift. The stairs can be an hassle with little kids and luggage but it's manageable. The shower drain wasn't great but it's to be expected in an old building. You will need to rent a car if you want to go to the beach or visit monuments. It's difficult to find parking. Even though it's free, we would often had to walk 10 min. We recommend taking a stroller if you have toddlers.

The fridge was turned off so we had to wait a while to put our things inside. Plates and other kitchen supplies were not cleaned properly. Somehow the hot water only worked in the kitchen, in the shower the water was not cold but neither warm enough to shower with. We were going to a wedding and had no time to call the owner, maybe he could have solved the problems. It's a little uncomfortable that the only bathroom is in one of the rooms.

Not really anything about the property just lack of parking but that’s everywhere in Monovar 😂

The kitchen was not well equipped (the fridge was too small, there was no microwave or toaster, and very little storage space). The church bells are right outside the apartment and rang loudly at 7am. But I personally didn't mind this. It is an old village house so it does not get much direct sunlight.
