Room for improvement.
We stayed in the apartment for 10 nights in August 2023. It's in a great location, with use of a lovely pool and there was never an issue finding sunbeds near the pool. It's a large apartment with a beautiful sun terrace and the interior has nice, modern furniture. Unfortunately there were some issues that adversely affected our stay. The whole apartment needs a deep clean. We had to mop the entire floor on the first day. We also had to wash the pillow protectors. They were stained and smelt of sweat! The windows were ill-fitting, most were not lockable except for the outside shutters that we had to keep shutting each we left the apartment. There was a safe in the wardrobe which would have been nice to use. However, it was broken and we were informed that it had been for many years. There is a lot of noise from outside, especially late at night & early in the morning (traffic, the shutters on the underground car park and people waiting for taxis at the taxi rank opposite.) This might not have been as noticeable if the windows were better fitting. There are two showers. However, the shower cubicle was not usable due to a dirty, blocked shower head so the water was reduced to a trickle. I did try to sort this myself with some lime scale remover. But it didn’t improve. It was advertised with whirlpool bath in the ensuite bathroom but again this had mould & dirt in the jets. The kitchen needs restocking with simple items such as small bowls for cereal and glasses for juice.

I find this review very strange, firstly the week following Damians stay we received a 5 star review from and different guest and aside of cleaning and laundry the apartment was exactly the same (do check the reviews), secondly I had left the apartment the day before Damian arrived, having stayed in the apartment for 8 days with my family, so I was very aware of the exact condition of the apartment when I left which I've detailed below, added to that none of the issues highlighted in the review were mentioned during or at the end of the stay... It's a very unusual review. All the bedding and towels were replaced in July, there are two sets and one is always being washed and prepared for the next guest. The location of the apartment is one of the reasons the apartment so popular and people young and old come back every year because of it, if someone wanted to book a totally quiet apartment why would they book one 50m from the marina? I'd really love to be able to post a picture in this reply of the cupboard in the kitchen with all the glasses, there are so many, of all different shapes and sizes, probably more than 25 overall, the cupboard is completely full and it's not a small cupboard. The second shower does work absolutely fine, my son used it most days during our stay, additionally each window does have its own lock, again I'd love to post a picture, we had them all professionally installed a number of years ago, so that also doesn't make any sense. I bathed in the whirlpool bath 3 days prior to Damian's arrival and there was no mould on it then, the apartment is thoroughly cleaned between each guest so this statement is also very strange. I could continue, but I'm not sure what would be of any benefit, I really just wonder the motivation for this review. We very very much welcome positive and negative feedback to improve every guests stay, and are always very reactive to guests if anything isn't working correctly or there is a problem, however it's difficult to react to this review. Damian obviously chose for whatever reason to stay in the apartment and not to communicate with either Karen who looks after the apartment, or with me via Vrbo.

Great spot!!!
Our experience was fabulous!!! Hosts were amazing!!! Location can not be beat!!! The building and pool area are super clean. Underground parking was very secure and also clean. Everything you need is in walking distance. The apartment itself is lovely. Very comfortable but is certainly in need of a deep clean. We were there for a month. And, have booked again for next year. The area is very friendly and we felt very safe walking at night. I would not hesitate in booking this apartment

Hi Yvonne, thank you for your review, we're really pleased you had a good stay at Mikonos. Interestingly we thought the same about a deep clean and the week after you'd left a full week was spent cleaning and painting along with some additional maintenance. We hope this will mean on your next stay that you find absolutely everything to your liking. Best regards Richard

Property location was excellent with a 1 minute walk to Marina and bars and restaurants. Property itself was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay with the bonus of the huge terrace furnished with sunbeds and a patio table. The pool area was very pleasant and clean, only thing required around the apartments is a fresh lock of paint otherwise brilliant and would use again.

Thank you for your review Glenn, we hope to see you again very soon. Just for your and any other readers info, our apartment exterior was repainted this year as you may have noticed, I think you're referring to the pool area possibly though, this is all being repainted at the end of this year's holiday season so as not to inconvenience anyone. Thanks again.

Best terrace in Duquesa!
We spent a week in Richard’s apartment for our first family holiday with 2 under 2 babies, and it was perfect! House was spotless, tastefully decorated and with a lovely bright living space, it had everything we needed. The terrace is the perfect family space, our babies spent all day playing safely outside, loving every minute. Richard was prompt and very helpful at responding to my many questions before our arrival. Location was the best you could get, 1 minute walk to beachfront and 1 minute to the port. Thanks again, this apartment and holiday will always bring happy memories!

Perfect Easter weekend getaway !
We arrived at Malaga airport at around 11pm. The taxi ride took around 1hr 15mins to get to the apartment. Even though it was incredibly late, Karen still met outside of the apartment and showed us around answering all of our questions. The apartment couldn’t have been in a better location! The shop opposite is open 365 days a year from 9am to 9pm, the beach was 50m away and the bars and restaurants were open from 9am to midnight - everything was right on the doorstep! No taxi or car needed! The terrace was perfect! We watched the sun rise in the morning and set at night. We lucked in with the weather whilst we were there and even had to put the air conditioning on on the Sunday as temperatures hit 29 degrees! The brand new sun loungers were lovely. Would I return again - absolutely! My friends and I even looked at buying a villa in the area as it was such a little hidden gem. Recommendations - it would have been great to have use of the safe. There was one in the apartment but Karen informed us it was broken. Looking to book the apartment again soon. A perfect few days away. Couldn’t have been happier.

One month @ #1 Mikonos
We thoroughly enjoyed our full month in Puerto de Las Duchesa. The apartment is gorgeous is and is in a perfect location, traffic even if nearby is not loud at all. The huge patio is a bonus but we didn’t get to use as much as we wanted because some days were cool and windy. Lots of pubs restaurants all nearby and short walk along each end N & S from the marina to other areas. Bus service is not great as not too many stop here. Estepona is 15 minutes away by car and is worth visiting. Only issue and its minor is the main shower, the installation of the shower head holder is very high up and would be better at least 18” lower as my wife has no chance of reaching it and I need to stand in the tub to reach the unit. All in all we would stay here again and many thanks to Richard with correspondence back and forward. Tom & Sheila , Edmonton , AB. Canada.

Fabulous apartment in an ideal location.
We have just returned from a 10 night stay at this lovely apartment. We were very pleasantly surprised at the accommodation which was nicer than the website pictures. It had everything you would need for your stay. The terrace is amazingly huge, relatively private and catches the sun all day. The apartment is only 5 mins from the lovely beach and coastal path and 2 mins from the marina with its many bars and some very nice restaurants. We have tried to book for later in the year but it is such a lovely property it is fully booked for months ahead. We would love to go back sometime and would definitely recommend it. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

It's rather strange when someone has a completely different view of something compared to everyone else, we got yet another 5 star review in the same week as this review, this is the first 2 star review we've ever received, for exactly the same apartment, we can only conclude they are a competitor that isn't as successful.
