Apartamento Turístico Cervantes 18

Be careful about the stairs: this is a two-story house. The Booking.com listing also gave me the wrong impression. Depending on the size of your group, the woman rents out one, two, or three bedrooms while you can use the other areas of the house. For a family with a child, that can mean sharing a room with a 1.35m bed and squeezing the child's extra bed in beside it. A separate room costs more, so the total ends up far too expensive. I think she should reconsider how she lists the place. Websites like these usually rent the whole property at a price that reflects that.

The views were lovely, and the location was superb. The beds were really comfortable too. Soraya made us feel welcome from the start, leaving us a cake and everything we needed for breakfast, including a delicious homemade cake. She was friendly and attentive throughout our weekend. The apartment was even better than its photos and had all the comforts we needed, with both heating and air conditioning. We'd happily return for the service alone.

The apartment was well equipped, with a ceramic hob, oven, microwave, and the other essentials. The sister also left us fruit and a freshly baked cake made with eggs from her farm. Still, a few things left us uneasy. Before we arrived, they asked when we were leaving instead of when we would arrive, which caused unnecessary stress. Then, although we'd mentioned our dog several times on WhatsApp, she seemed surprised to see it. We left the place as we found it after sweeping and mopping and taking out the rubbish. Later, she messaged us about a small scratch on the refrigerator and asked if we'd had a problem with it. We hadn't used it, and would have said so if we had. You book a place to get away from everyday worries, not take on new ones.

We only stopped for the night, but slept really well. The beds were very comfortable, and both the owner and her sister were lovely. We felt very at ease.
