Location

The entrance door wasn’t easy to close

We received a very warm welcome from Elena on arrival and was shown around the apartment. The location was perfect for our stay in Tarifa. The apartment is very spacious and airy ..having lots of windows and air conditioning. So helpful to have a secure Safe in the wardrobe to enable us to store our passports safely. The view from the balcony in the morning was simply stunning… and the sunsets in the evening were beautiful. We enjoyed a very pleasant 15 min walk along the beach to the old town centre & the harbour. Ample parking to the side of the apartment …but there is also an underground parking space if needed.

Nothing at all

The accomodations were perfecto- immaculate, safe, luxurious and the location cannot be beat! We enjoyed watching windsurfers from the large comfy balcony overlooking the boardwalk and beach. Several great restaurants are right next door and the center of town is a short stroll away. Elena met us at the property and cheerfully provided all the information we needed. Her kindness was greatly appreciated- we will be back!

No complaints at all!

Nice view of the beach and sea, a rooftop patio and bordering the boardwalk and beach. End unit so had 3 extra windows on the side for extra light and view. Has a safe, ventilation in the bathroom and lights in the closet that come on when you slide the door. Property management was great. ‘Maybet’ uses WhatsApp and met us at the front gate within 10 minutes of texting. When we had ants and needed extra garbage bags she left us some ant jell. When we told her the Toaster was broken she left a new one in a bag on the door handle.

Old wooden countertops in bathroom and kitchen are wood so they stay damp with mold and need replacing. Towels smelt mouldy or musty. Toaster malfunctioned and blew all the fuses. Didn’t leave any food out but we had small sand ants in the kitchen. Shower is old, dirty and in need of replacement. Couldn’t use it for half the first day as water had leaked onto the floor as it had just been re caulked. Leaked 2 days later and they said they would fix it after we left. 3 storey building of 66 apartments is old and dirty with rusty window grills. Looks great from the beach but not so good from the street. Apt was expensive to rent considering the condition of the building and all the issues. Owner did offer us a €50 refund if we gave a good review but that is not fair to future renters.
