Principe Real Balcony by Homing

The property is well located, within walking distance to points of interest and to the public transportation. It's a 2nd floor walk-up (3rd for Americans). I loved returning to the nice bouncy swing on the balcony after a long day of activities. The flat was acceptably clean, the layout is convenient, and there was that feeling of privacy. I liked having the kitchen. Several good chain supermarkets are nearby, incl. Aldi and Continente. The WiFi router in the apartment didn't work (no internet), but we were able to connect to an unsecured free WiFi in the vicinity. The toiletries/dish soap are not provided unless left by previous guests. The kitchen was generally equipped, but out of the flatware there were only one fork and one tablespoon, several teaspoons and plenty of knives. The apartment is in dire need of some electrical work - about half of the outlets were out of order, specifically you have nowhere to connect the lamps on the bedside tables, and the outlet by the table in the living room didn't work, so I had to go elsewhere with my laptop, etc. The main host's problem, though, is last-minute check-in payment and corresponding communications, which are only through email or local phone, and tourists from abroad way have limited connectivity. Check-in instructions on Expedia were obsolete. It would be preferable to duplicate up-to-date instructions through Expedia application or WhatsApp. We still had nice time after checking in and throughout our stay.

Good proce good location, but is a little bit annoying having to look for the keys in another place

Everything was very nice. The people in Homing were very organized and you could leave your baggage with them. Only sad thing is that the coffee machine doesn't work, and as mentioned before the waste of water is sad. Otherwise very clean and professional.

Check-in was fine, coordinated over whatsapp. When we got the the apartment there was a weird smell. Had to open all the doors and windows to air it out. The bathroom also had a bad smell - we left the fan running to air that out too. There was also some broken glass left on the balcony. It's quite outdated and can be remodeled. Some of the outlets came out of the wall, which seems unsafe. In the bedroom, there's not much access to outlets, either. Not very bright in there at night, either. Not many hangers. Needed to let the kitchen water run to get hot water in the shower. The area - it seems to be near some dancing clubs or something, but we couldn't hear any of it. It was a pretty quiet area.
