Casitas Tenerife - El Risco 1

The only issue- is a taxi stop under the windows: drunk tourists are waiting for a taxi there every night and their laughing and singing are too loud ;(

The apartment is located over three shops, two were not a problem. One was a bakery which opened at 6am, but there was a taxi rank directly outside and when it was quite the taxi men meet up in the bakery after their shift, sometimes as early as 4.30am and talking very loudly. One in particular shouted over the others the entire time. Football match loud. This went on until nearly 8am when they went home. When they left it was fine. So bad was the noise we recorded the shouting. We had our windows closed and it felt they were in the bedroom with us. Also there is no air conditioning only ceiling fans, which were fine for Feb. We said it to the agent and she said Los Cristianos is a lively resort and is noisy at times, but would have a word with them. If she did it made no difference. We also asked the bakery staff if they could keep talking down. So if you like your SLEEP do not book this apartment. Also some of the electric sockets in the kitchen need attention. One completely hanging off and one getting loose. There was also the use of a washing machine which was a top loader and none of us had used before. We asked how it works, the agent did no know, nor was there any instructions/info folder in the apartment of Do's and Don'ts which is quite common. The washing machine drum got stuck and we could not get our clothes out. We rang the agent, sent a txt and photo, she replied she would call by. We heard nothing back from her re the washing machine and left without getting clothes out. Bookings sent an email on return home asking for 60 euro to repair the washing machine we had broken. A deposit of 100 euro cash was stated in the booking but was declined when offered by the agent when checking in. Not our problem.
