Pleasant but small
Review Submitted: October 19, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
The apartment was as described, however as a couple, we found it very small for our needs. Although there is a safety deposit box, the owner was not able to give us the access code to open it.
The apartment is located very close to the marina in Duquesa which is excellent for restaurants and bars, however the apartment is also very close to the main A7 road with 4 lanes of traffic which could be heard especially when the balcony door was open. It was not as quiet as we expected.
There was secure, underground carparking, and luckily we had a Smart fortwo car as the space was very tight.
The owner was very slow to respond to e-mails, and did not respond to my telephone calls the night before arrival to help me make alternative arrangements to pick up the apartment keys as the keys he had posted had not arrived. Eventually I had to telephone his neighbour in Spain and she arranged for me to meet her friend to collect the key. Brendan never contacted us to check if we had got into the apartment.
Overall, the apartment is close to the main amenities in Duquesa, which is a lovely town with a great marina and local beaches. However we found it just a bit too small but should have expected this from a studio.
