GAV La Ermita

Location, accommodations, responsiveness of host

Nothing

Great location, 5 minutes walk from Puente Nuevo-Tajo de Ronda. And 5 minutes another direction to main shopping area.

There was no kettle there, and no instructions on how to use the ceramic hob. I did see some insects on the floor in my bedroom once.

Location and comfort of bed

Lacking in charm - felt corporate

Location was excellent and the bed was huge and hardness to my liking. It was also very clean throughout.

The appt. info on booking.com regarding nearby parking for 10€ per day is wrong. The cheapest was Pz Del Socorro at 22€ per day. It also noted that there is a roof terrace. This is misleading as the terrace is not shared but only available to the appts on the top floor. The road itself is a very narrow cul-de-sac which has residents-only access. You have to reverse it's entire length if you decide to enter anyway. This was a surprise for us when trying to drop our luggage outside. The kitchen was very basic with limited crockery, e.g. no bowls, so eat your cereal from a plate! There were no manuals for anything or info about local attractions as you usually get. The info on booking.com says there's a tour desk, but there isn't. There is a map of Ronda in the hallway, but that seems to be it. The bathroom was okay, but hot water runs out quickly if you have a shower one after the other. Also the door to the appt was really tight and required some effort to open and close it, creating an almighty noise throughout the building every time we went out and came back. Wi-Fi was okay in the living room, but lost connection in other parts of the appt. Communication with the owner was transactional and quite terse. Then he or she stopped replying. A terrible shame as this could have been an 8 or even a 9.
