Guest Reviews

• Abdelmoughit (6/5): -
• Vasco (3/5): - Localização Falta de limpeza. Falta de cuidado com a habitação. O anfitrião deveria ter pago um outro alojamento, pois aquele não tinha condições.
• silva (10/5): -
• Antonio (7/5): - A localização O ar condicionado não funcionou em frio, janelas superiores sem cortina, claridade entra cedissimo
• chami (7/5): - Emplacement parfait
• Phillip (5/5): No frills but a space to base yourself - I was able to meet at the apartment on time and the host was there waiting for me. This place is managed by a third party who deal with any conversations on the website, the 'owner' is who met me. The owner speaks little English and we had to speak through translation site on web for some of it. The bed downstairs I found ok but too hard for some I would imagine. The upstairs is too hot and the aircon does not reach up there. He did message me on day 2 or 3 to ask if I wanted cleaning and I said no. The area wasn't too noisy except the Sunday night where there was quite loud music, this didn't overly bother me but some it might. This place is ok for no frills, somewhere to sleep with a small balcony - not for anyone who is precious about anything. There was some shower gel and two travel size shampoos, I strongly suggest these were left by a previous guest, well at least the shampoo was. I don't think the brief states there are toiletries, so a bonus. The water situation - there is a large black water 'container' on the balcony for use when the mains water is not in supply. It was very difficult to understand him explaining how this worked, there was a lever for on and off and a yellow machine type thing which he turned on as an afterthought, I don't really understand what this was. In any case, however he set it up, I had water at all times, if this was due to how he set it up or if the mains never went off during my stay I don't know. Make sure you know how this works else be out of water potentially. I kept the balcony doors closed' I did not experience any flies ot mosquitos in the apartment and did not use any 'devices' to keep them away. From the picture it looks like there is restaurant below, there isn't, and the bar opposite, TamTam has closed down. Close walk to beach and the main street is the next road over, shops, restaurants and bars all close by. I was first told by the third party that I could pay by card, then I was told I couldn't. I asked if I could pay in Euros which I was told yes, so this is what I took. The owner at first was saying no as he had to then pay conversion fees at his bank, this wasn't my issue and I shouldn't have been told yes. He called the third party and whatever was said led to the Euros being accepted. Caution, had I not got Euros with me, the ATM did not work for me at first and so I would be unable to pay him. I think the ATM may have been out of cash as another I tried later that night did work for me. It said 'there are no services for you' rather than 'out of cash'. He took about 4 phone calls at the same time as explaining to me how things worked, unprofessional i thought. All of the kitchen items need a good clean. The sink overflow does not go down the drain it empties in the cupboard below the sink!!! Just don't fill up the sink to the overflow level. Sponges and tea towel dirty. Stairs are quite steep if you have mobility issues, the beams are low upstairs. I got electrocuted as a open live wire is hanging out of the wall near the floor, by the upstairs bed. There is a very large cot in the room which I moved to a corner out of the way. One of the power points on the kitchen wall is hanging loose. The worse part by far, in location terms, is the annoying men who try to talk to tourists, to get you to look at their shop and asking to buy drugs. There are intimidating and a menace. They will ask what you're looking for and even oblige to show you if you tell them. where you are from, where you are staying and for how long. My advice, don't tell them and keep moving, I think they are trying to judge how much money you have by asking where you are staying. In my opinion, don't say you are English (if you are) hedge bets and pretend to be French, they are unlikely to know the language.
• Bosco (5/5): - Mi hanno mentito NON C ERA NESSUNA CASSETTA DI SICUREZZA MI AVEVANO DETTO DI SI Aria condizionata solo in una stanza
• Andrea Rodriguez mas (10/5): -
• jose ignacio (9/5): Céntrico y tranquilo - Decoración y diseño interior y exterior Atención de Eugenio, pendiente y anticipándose a las necesidades que se podían tener Ubicación y tranquilidad Falta de luz en la escalera Detalles de obras no acabadas Falta de menaje, platos....
• Alessandra (7/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - La posizione era centrale e comoda, anche abbastanza silenziosa la sera. L’aria condizionata funzionava molto bene e il letto è molto ampio e comodo. I cuscini sarebbero da cambiare perché rovinati e nella cucina mancavano i bicchieri e i cucchiai.
• André (10/5): Boa receção - Disponibilidade do dono, enviou um táxi ao aeroporto para nos levar ao alojamento. Espaço muito central. Nada a apontar
• Josefa (10/5): -
• Lamisi (8/5): - Good location and just off the main street. Spacious and cozy.
• FLAVIA (7/5): - Struttura situata in posizione centrale, ampio l'appartamento e molto gentile l'host. Sì consiglia il ristorante italiano situato sotto il palazzo. Nel giorno che abbiamo soggiornato noi non funzionava la luce scale, ed abbiamo trovato difficoltà nell'usare la chiave del portone. Per il prezzo pagato, avremmo gradito la colazione inclusa.
• Col (9/5): Very good. - Big room Nobody to meet me with keys.
• Roy (8/5): I very much enjoyed my stay at homely flat, its a great place to chill out. - I found the apartment adequate for my needs, in fact it is quite spacious. The kitchen area has plenty of storage cupboards, crockery & utensils were OK, but could be better. There's a good sized fridge, with a pretty large freezer compartment. The bed I used was huge, & for me (I like a firm matress) was very comfortable. It's a nice feature to have the two large patio doors to let in fresh air, & keep the room light & bright. And being 2 stories above the road made the view better, & kept any traffic noise down. The wi fi was really good, with plenty of bandwidth for me to stream content from my firestick. The aircon works fine, but in all the time I was there I never needed it. Sink, toilet & shower area all worked as expected. The really meaty door lock made the apartment feel very secure. The location is really good, very close to bars, restaurants & minimarts, & not many minutes walk to the beach. Across the road from the apartment is Legends bar, its a bit spit & sawdust, but has a lot of character & characters! The owner Dave is from the UK (Manchester area), he has a lot of local knowledge, & can point you in the right direction for most things. He also has a very good pool table, & a dart board. In the kitchen - could have done with more microwave containers, & a microwave spatter cover. The one frying pan is huge, & has a hump in the middle, making it almost impossible to fry an egg. Also a toaster would make life easier than using the gas grill. The balcony is a lovely feature, but I would suggest the owner instals a couple of chairs, & a small table out there (like the apartment adjoining has). The wardrobes are on the floor above the main bed, which are accessed by a very steep ladder type of stairs. The sink/toilet/shower area lighting is very dim. There is a decent patissiere down the road that sells uncut loaves of bread that dont taste of sugar, unfortunately their slicer wasn't working. And the apartment lacks a bread knife!
