Apto en Mesa del Mar

Ocean view, good kitchen and bathroom facilities.

Interesting seaside location, somewhat remote, lacking in shops, restaurants, bars etc

Exceptional balcony view of the sea. Beach and beautiful costal walk are just downstairs. A spacious and well equipped flat. Very responsive and helpful host.

Me encantó la tranquilidad y belleza que iba buscando

El horario del autobús hasta el pueblo no está cootdinado con la primera hora del autobús desde el pueblo al aeropuerto. Andando son dos horas cuesta arriba. Tampoco hay tiendas para comprar agua y víveres alrededor.

The view and the balcony with the big glass windows is beautiful, the apartment is tastefully decorated and the host was very responsive and nice. Wifi worked well. You could tell everything was nicely cleaned but there is a big ant problem.

The main reason why I can't give a higher score to this accommodation are the ants. There were sooo many tiny ants everywhere, I was super worried we would get some in our luggage and accidentally bring them home because it's a freaking pain in the *** to get rid of them once you have them. In the kitchen I was missing the water heater (to boil water for tea) and the coffee machine was leaking water so we didn't use it because the water spilled on the counter and floor. The walls are quite thin so the first night I couldn't sleep because our neighbours had the TV on loud enough to wake me up (I tried knocking on their door but they just screamed in Spanish and didn't open, later the host talked to them and the rest of the stay was more peaceful). Also on arrival it was a little difficult to find the apartment because after collecting the keys and getting to the right floor, there were only three closed doors with no numbers on, and this wasn't specified in the instructions how to get there, so we were confused. There is no cell phone signal on the floor so we couldn't contact the host. I guess normally one of the doors is open so you see the hallway where the apartments are. (I also had quite a bad allergic reaction (it appeared/worsened only in the apartment) to something in the apartment, I'm guessing it was either the ant bites or perhaps some laundry detergent for the bed sheets. It went away when I got back home and never had it since.) Honestly if there were no ants the apartment wouldn't be as low rated but the thing that really really worried me the whole stay was getting ants in the luggage and having an infestation in our home when we return. So honestly, until there are no ants any more I really cannot recommend this stay, no matter how nice the owner was.
