Lovely Flat Santa Catalina Park

The location is wonderful, really appreciate being in the center close to everything. Also the kindness of the staff.

The location was close to the bus terminal, also close to a number of restaurants, shops, etc. The main beach was also only a few blocks away, all within a walking distance. Alex was friendly and communicated well regarding the arrival time and the handover of condo keys. Condo itself was spacious, with the appliances one would need for a comfortable stay.

The worst problem was the noise - the windows, although fairly modern, did not stop the noise from the street from penetrating the condo - this went on at all hours of the night, all the way up to 5-6 a.m. I suspect the topmost windows do not close completely, so we had to listen to conversations/yelling of drunk party people all night. Same with the engine noise from cars and motorbikes, honking, etc. Furthermore, it is impossible to block the light from entering through the windows, because the curtains leave a lot of space open. You will NOT get a good night's sleep until the owners fix this 2 issues. A number of power outlets hang from the wall, creating a potential hazard. In general, the condo could use a little more care - painting, adding power outlets, considering the price charged. The sofa should have a leather or leatherette upholstery - something that would have a better smell resistance in such a humid climate.. One word about the kitchen knives - bad. Please, get some decent knives that do not bend so easily : ) Also, a cutting board or two would be nice.
