We stayed with friends for the first 2 weeks in the Costa del Sol and had not made any arrangements for a further 16 days prior to arriving. We were given to understand that there were many vacancies and that there should be no problem finding an apartment.
<br/>
<br/>Unfortunately many owners that the economy is in the dumps and that people are looking for quality apartments at reasonable prices and not substandard units at high prices for short stays. We were very fortunate to come across this apartment 3 days before our friends left to return home putting us in a very unaffordable hotel room.
<br/>
<br/>The owner, Terry, bent over backwards to help us complete the necessary arrangements before moving into the apartment. We were very pleasently surprised when we entered the unit as it was a perfect place to spend our last weeks in Spain. The size is ideal for 2 people and the furniture was almost new and in very good shape. The kitchen was a bit on the small side but very functional. The only things missing were a small microwave oven to reheat things and some sort of drip coffee maker for us North Americans who love fresh brewed coffee.
<br/>
<br/>The view from the large balcony was beautiful and we spent many hours there sunning our selves shielded from a cool breeze.
<br/>
<br/>There is a grocery store, a hardware store, an internet cafe and a few restaurants located directly across the golf course and about a 15 minute vigorous walk away from the apartment. The golf club also has a restaurant. Unfortunately, it is a 3 km walk up and down hills to get to the very good public transportation system and a car is a necessity if one likes to visit.
<br/>
<br/>We highly recommend this wonderful accommodation.
