The shower was barely usable, with only a weak trickle and almost no pressure. The ceramic hob also took ages to warm up, and there were hardly any cooking tools. The house is well placed near the Montejo beech forest and Buitrago de Lozoya, but it really needs window screens: with the windows open, flies, wasps, and spiders come in, and there’s no insect repellent. Closing the windows in summer made the place quite hot, and the two fans weren’t enough. Kitchen supplies were sparse too. Four of us had just three teaspoons, and the cupboard door wouldn’t stay open, which made putting dishes away alone tricky. Bring your own salt, vinegar, and oil, since what was supplied wasn’t suitable. Even the washing-up liquid was mostly water with a little soap. It’s not a bad place, but it could be much better.
