The best
Mixed feelings about this property. Some aspects were superb, others were a let-down.
1. Host is great, very nice and prompt, lovely man.
2. Location is nice, but is down a very steep, old cobbled road; nothing bad about this, except if you are driving, be careful.
3. The property was fabulous. Amazing mix of old and new, with orange and lime/lemon trees in the backyard, a swimming pool, outdoor seats, etc. Interior was very tastefully, artistically, done.
4. Kitchen was great, well-equipped; fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle. Milk, tea, filter coffee provided; Nespresso machine available.
5. Lovely views from the back of the house.
Now the downsides:
1. Parking was a big problem. No private parking for the house; nearby municipal parks, both were full both nights we were there and we had to park illegally both nights; had to go early-ish in the morning to check there were no tickets, and move the car.
2. Biggest problem: hot water. Both in the evenings and in the mornings, the hot water ran out after 1.5 showers; we had a busy day planned, and we had to carry hot water from the kitchen sink in vessels upstairs to shower!! It was strange, because there was good hot water in the kitchen sink. Obviously, there is a problem, and it was very annoying. To make things easier, two of us had a shower the night before, and during the second shower the water cooled down. This is just not acceptable.
3. In one of the bedrooms, there is no physical separation between the sleeping area and the toilet/shower. No, I am not joking. I don't know about Spanish living styles in detail, but this was NOT something we could ever get used to.
I feel bad writing this because the host was so nice and the property was amazing once you are inside (except for the bedroom-toilet situation as above).
