Home2Book Ocean View House El Médano, Pool

The place feels really cozy and is clean. The owners are super friendly, too.

A tiny apartment near El Médano, and it was just right. I loved staying here!

The owner was so positive and welcoming, and the place itself is lovely and cozy. There’s a small kitchen for making your own food, plus a fridge, TV, coffee maker, towels and a terrace. You’ll also find tabletop games and ice cubes in the freezer. Coffee is available both instant and brewed, with sugar options. The only downside is that the nearby shop shuts early.

The studio looks like the photos, has lovely decor and feels cozy. The lady was friendly, and having a car made the somewhat distant downtown location manageable. Cleaning was mixed: the visible areas were clean, but the sofa bed was dirty when we pulled it out. Privacy was the bigger issue for us. The studio joins the owners’ home behind the closet, with only a thin wall between, so we could hear their conversations, the kids playing and even hammering while they put something together. The barbecue area shown beside the bedroom was under renovation, and the children played on the construction site. Since it was right by the wall, the noise carried into the studio. The pool was closed because of the virus situation, so I can’t comment on it. It’s fine for a night if you’re mainly going to the beach. I wouldn’t recommend it if you want to enjoy the room, given the noise and lack of privacy.
