Holiday Home Esencia de jazmin by Interhome

Great size apartment for 4 adults and an 18 month old toddler. Plenty of space in the open plan kitchen and living area, and outside on the terrace. It has a proper kitchen with full size oven, hob, fridge freezer etc. Plenty of cutlery and crockery, all a bit mismatched but that doesn’t matter. Parking no problem outside at the front. We loved that you can access directly on to the garden area which is lovely and well kept, and walk up to the pool. It felt safe and secure for the toddler, there is a gate across the patio doors onto the terrace, and a gate from the terrace to the garden/pool area, which itself is fully enclosed and private for the apartments. Communication with the hosts was very good, we messaged as couldn’t find the hairdryer and a brand new one was delivered the next morning. We spent a lot of the in the apartment and it suited us perfectly. We could sunbathe on the terrace while the toddler had his naps; and relax with a glass of wine after his bedtime. The air con worked well in the en-suite bedroom. We couldn’t find the control for the living room unit but didn’t bother as we just left the patio doors open all the time, which was safe to do because of the lockable gate. There are a few bars, restaurants and supermarket about 10 min walk away. Aldi 5 mins in the car. The beach 15-20 min walk

It is dated and tired and could do with a bit of an upgrade, but then I guess the prices would be higher. We found a few ants and cockroaches but that’s pretty usual for Spain and didn’t bother us

It was in a good location and was spacious

The apartment was quite tired, the air con machine pipes drip straight onto the terrace and make the terrace very unsafe and slippery. The plug sockets are very dangerous with children. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived there was still old dirty towels in the apartment. The neighbour was constantly on our case you couldn’t breathe without her moaning about something.
