Dona Lola Calahonda, Andalusia

Ideal location of property. Owner extremely helpful.

A spacious apartment, neatly clean, everything is there, including air conditioning. Nice balcony to sit outside, adjacent to the garden. 2 swimming pools and near the beach, a few minutes walk.Mini market and restaurants 3 minutes walk. Nice hostess for key transfer.

Basically the apartment needs updating As all furniture and fittings dated Prime location Needs hot water system upgraded As you can only use one shower at a time Even if you use the kitchen sink water will go cold

High humidity in the apartment which you can feel when you take your clothes from the cupboard. Bed clothes not clean. Oldfashioned boiler with gas. Took 8 minutes until the shower was warm. Oldfashioned furniture and a lot of it. Like living in a museum. A lot of glasses and plates but really old frying pans and casseroles. The whole kitchen like a ” graveyard” of old kitchen equipment. Bad plumping. Noysy. Karaoke Bar nearby. To offer a flat like this is bad PR!

Apartment was adequate and basic except for the on-suite bathroom, which was modern. Sound proofing was bad, could hear upstairs going to the toilet and moving chairs. Situated close to the bars so you could hear the music into the early hours. NOTE: Although the apartment is on the ground floor, you have to go up at least 10 steps to get to the communal door, then go down steps too the apartments front door.

The apartment is worn and smells old and damp. Several things do not work: Toilet, leaky by shower, dishwasher. Messy kitchen. The closets are overcrowded with way too many things. We are writing 2019, but no WIFI. It just has to be there. Since it was a private apartment we could not use the hotel's wifi. Every time we asked about something at the reception, vivat was told that we lived in a private apartment and therefore could not use the hotel's facilities. The only thing we could use was the pool. Bad experience
