La Tejita

Nothing

There were cockroaches. I saw them at night on two occasions. The bed is far too small for two people. I had to sleep on the couch. The arrival process was terrible. The booking confirmation stated in writing that there would be someone there to meet me. There was not. I had given several weeks' advance notice that I would be arriving between 19:00 and 20:00, so my arrival time was not a surprise. On arriving at the apartment, I phoned the owner and, only then, did he send information on how to get in. This information, which didn't arrive until I called again after 20 minutes, was a series of photos that made little sense, along with purely Spanish explanations. It took an unnecessary 35 minutes to get in and to find the parking spot. He could have provided an overhead plan of where the keys are, how to get to the apartment and where the parking spot is. And he could have done that 24 hours before my arrival rather than have me scurrying around the complex trying to work out the apparently random images and messages he was sending. The French windows do not close properly meaning that the property is never completely secure and there is always a draft. There is no ventilation to pull air from the bathroom. Any toilet smells fill the (small) apartment space. I booked for 11 days for two people. The owner provided just two toilet rolls and just one bin bag, the same as he would for someone booking two days. Why are guests who spend more penalised like this in so many apartment rentals? The apartment has no heating facilities and is north-facing. It gets cold in January when we visited, and there's nothing you can do about it. The crockery needed to be cleaned properly before it could be used. There was no drinking water on arrival. A small/medium bottle for someone arriving in the evening (as I did) would have cost the owner a euro or two, more than covered by the 770 EUR I paid for 10 nights.

The hot water was not enough for 2 people.

It would have been nice to be met by the host on arrival as it was a bit confusing as to where to find the keys! However this was quickly sorted after a phone call to the host.
