The compact one bedroom apartment was well located and had the basics (though we had to call the owner to find the “hidden” drawer within a drawer to get to the cooking utensils). I think the owners housekeeper let her down as she did not speak english and seemed in a hurry to go so did not give a very comprehensive tour of the apartment.
When we called the owner she was very helpful and was surprised that the housekeeper had not given a thorough guided tour, so I do not think it was the owner’s fault. An engineer came to fix the outside light (which a previous guest had reported broken) and after his visit we seemed to have issues with the electricity as the whole place tripped if we had the hob and oven on at the same time as the lights and TV. As long as we stuck to 2 items at a time all was well. The garden was lovely and relaxing, and it was an ideal location walking distance to beach and town. There are great eateries down near the beach and supermarkets within 5 minute walk, as is the main town. If we had been staying in the upper floor this would have been a much more pleasant location, as the French couple above us seemed to thoroughly clean the entire flat (scraping furniture across the floor and walking around with shoes on (tiled floor) directly above us) for 2hrs+ From about 6.45/7am EVERY DAY!!! This pretty well defeated the whole purpose of our trip (my husband had been working 60+ hour weeks for several months so he needed a week of long sleeps to “recharge the batteries and relax” but with other neighbours in the block up until after midnight and the “early bird cleaning company” above us, we were tired every day.
One thing it did for us was to confirm that we could not retire to an apartment so that was a useful in learning experience.
