Designer 1 bedroom apartment White Tree 2 minutes to the beach in the city center, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

The place was clean and comfortoble. Host makes the great effort to make it that way. It is equiped with all necessary things, including ceaning detergents.

Check in could be shorter and instructions could be stated on one paper. Bathroom is high maintainance. It is necessary for it to be continiously opened to keep it in order. Vent could be cleaner. Method of payment (cash) could be stated in the description of the place. I was sceptic because of this but host is fair.

The appartement itself was really amazing. Great location, well equiped, brand new. I also liked how the host, despite not using a keybox helped us arrive when we needed and get out when we had to. The host really trusted us and did not ask us to do a proper checkout. The hist shared great information about the city and apartment. In regards to all of this, the experience was 10/10 and I would recommend it.

Basically only one thing, but which was an important factor. This is the only reason why I am putting 6 and not 10: the attitude of the host BEFORE we arrived was unprofessional and quite worrying. 1. As others wrote in comments, he asked us to cancel the booking reservation and pay him directly. This is fraud in my eyes albeit tempting, and also created a breach of trust. We hesitated canceling everything and finding another hotel it was stressful as we were afraid he would increase price or tell us he was actually full at the last min when we would have no other possibilities or significantly more expensive ones. He offered us a discount for this option. 2. He asked us to pay in cash.I suppose to avoid taxes... Again, even though this is not uncommon in the industry refusing card after the booking seems weird. 3. He is a slavic man and did not speak english or soanish with us: he tried to use our mothertongue on whatsapp. Since he didnt introduce himself it was weird for us and translation errors made him appear even more impolite. 4. When we were reluctant to accept the cash offer and eventually did not, he got furious on whatsapp and quite impolite. He refused being filmed to prove the cash transaction occured. I have to say though after the stay, he was not a bad person, and the stay itself was great. I have said everyrhing, I am satisfied of the rest
