The Apartment:
The apartment is situated in a gated community so you feel very safe there and the fact that there is an code entry system means that you don't have the problem of 'who keeps the keys!' It was spotlessly clean, spacious and was extremely well equipped. We had everything we could possibly need for our stay and more! I particularly loved the large terrace with the comfortable seating which overlooks the sea - perfect for sitting down at the end of the day to enjoy a drink before going out to discover one of the many lovely restaurants in the vicinity or a ten minute stroll to the Old Town and Marina. The beds, bed linen and pillows were all very comfortable and there were more than enough bath and hand towels for us to use.
The swimming pool area is also extremely clean and there were lots of sunbeds and parasols to go around - although the weather in March was not warm enough for me to brave the pool.
Location: 1st line Beach
To get to the beach you literally have to go out of the main gates and cross the small road and you are there.
We were just happy to be so close to everything and only hired a car for a couple of days to see the wonderful sights: Jameos del Agua, Mirador del Rio, the Volcano, The César Manrique Foundation House etc.
Obviously, due to it's location, you do get a little noise coming from the bars in the immediate vicinity but when you want to be right in the middle of town, a few steps from the beach and next to loads of shops and restaurants then you have to expect that - besides, it never bothered us and I am only pointing it out for people who want complete silence during their stay.
Getting there:
We took a taxi straight from the airport and it was only about 15 Euros
Summary?
Would I stay here again? Absolutely! - it was one of the nicest apartments that I have ever rented. Both my sister and sister-in-law would happily live there. Location was fantastic
The owners were also very helpful and always answered my mails very quickly and even allowed us to stay longer on check out day as our flights left in the evening.
