Villa Paloma

We were told that the apartment was left in a perfect condition to us, however that wasn't completely true (see the photos section). I'd rather say, that it was quite worn and dirty in some less obvious places. There was a mold or some kind of a fungus on the tiles in the bathroom (see the brown/ginger tarnish on photo). The main armchair was really used up and tattered and a little bit dirty. Power socket frames in the main bathroom were falling out every time we wanted to use them. There were some minor things which might be annoying or even not acceptable (if u pay a full season price) like worn mirror in the bathroom, huge scratch on the wall, standing vacuum cleaner which couldn't work for more than 30 seconds on its battery (yes we tried to recharge it, but no luck). Glasses with lipstick on the rim. Broken balcony chairs Besides that (and I need to point out, that the host helped us with this every time we called her) we had a huge problem with the entry doors. We were unable to open them with a key after being out of the apartment for the whole day. We were told that the doors are made of wood, so that these are really sensitive to the temperature changes -> so that we ended up trying and struggling to open the doors with the instructions from a host, how to make it open. Sometimes we were able to open us ourselves, sometimes the host sent someone to help us out, but still struggling with a doors when your wife and an infant are waiting outside (yup, even in Spain the evenings are pretty cold) isn't the best time you have. Furthermore, we were told by the neighbor (who was a big heart person), that the problem is known and even the previous guests had problems with those doors, so I wonder why hadn't it been fixed before? Parking slot on the possession is taken by the owner and the only way is to park on the street next to the building, which tends to be busy at the weekends.

Whilst the apartment was magnificent we did have a number of things which we felt could have been better - the barbecue area was down a flight of stairs, with no seating / table available, so we didn't use it - too much hastle; the pool had a brown deposit all the way around the edge, which was a little off-putting - though we still used it most days; the TV was quite small and mounted quite far from the living area seating, it's really time for an upgrade; Adding a coffee table would be a good idea.

Nothing

I would have liked to know that the next door property was being renovated. The weekends were quiet, but during the week days, there was a jack hammer working from 8am til 5 pm, which didn’t allow much sleeping late in the mornings.

everything was perfect thanks
