Casa Atlantida - Sea front

Nothing! We slept in the car! Accommodation was full of cockroaches in the bed.

There were cockroaches in the bed and in the bathroom and ants all over the kitchentabel. You could find food from the last guests on the floor. The service was unfriendly. When we told about the cockroaches they ignored us.

not much

the door would stay closed unless it was locked and to lock and unlock it was quite the challenge. the people who came to let us in that we paid $50 for didn’t speak English and literally was there for 30seconds. the house smelled like mold and it was freezing there was 2 heaters that barely worked. the hot water tank was so small you only had enough hot water to wash either your hair or your body not enough time for both the same shower. all of the curtains were shear so people could see into the house at night. And last but certainly not least was the roaches. there was huge palmetto bugs and house centipedes ants and a few other bugs that I couldn’t identify.

seafront

no privacy. it’s right on side walk and people kept looking inside. 2 men tried to walk into our apartment. my husband chased them away. I don’t think they were being malicious, probably just curious or thought it was public space. it’s literally on the walking path to the beach. the price was wayyy too high for this place. ive never rented a place (booking.com, Airbnb , or Vrbo) that charged me 25 EU per person for “checking in”. this was not stated until a few days before my trip so this felt like a scam. not enough hot water for more than one 5 min shower at a time. also, too many bugs (ants) even though we kept it clean. we left a day early bc we just couldn’t do this anymore. the people refused to reimburse us for the lost night

The location was excellent - with sea view and great spot for sunsets, very "tranquillo", we have waterfall in our "backyard" where you can swim. 2-3 minutes walk to two great restaurants (Maresia and Papandatos), great personal touch with the old CD collections. Walking distance from one of the "biggest" supermarkets in the village. We love Faja Grande in general.

We stayed there for 6 nights but our place was only cleaned up once - when we checked out. We noticed that in the last 2 days, the house needed a bit of cleaning as bugs started to come out. Would be nice to have the house clean at least half way (after 3 days) of our stay, especially since we needed to pay 25eur pp for cleaning fee. The house can also benefit from a bit of maintenance (some paints were already worn off). All in all though, Alexandra (the cleaning lady) was very nice and helpful and the owner has been very responsive throughout our stay.
