Good not great
It’s difficult to say anything negative about this property when you have Jorge as such a lovely host, but our biggest complaint is the beds. They’re much too hard for our liking so we didn’t feel like we really rested during the entirety of our stay.
Other minor complaints are the noise and the location. On a map, the location seems perfect, but it’s actually up a fairly steep hill so we felt like you really needed a car to go anywhere (thankfully we had one). There are also many barking dogs in the area so sleeping with the windows open was nearly impossible, but it was too warm with them closed. This is not the fault of the hosts, though. Living with noise is the price you pay for staying in Puerto de la Cruz. It’s a great town, but after two stays there, we’ve decided it’s no place we want to be at night.
Otherwise, we found the apartment enjoyable. At first glance, the kitchen seemed sparsely supplied, but it actually had everything we needed once we got in and used it. It had a strong musty smell at the beginning of our trip, but provided we went just as the borders were opening back up, I think perhaps it hadn’t been used for a while.
The grounds of the property are well-kept. Someone is out cleaning or mowing every workday. It is lovely. The pool is almost too cold to be used. You must swim hard and fast to stay warm, but it’s really nice and pretty.
In general, we were satisfied with our stay. Be sure to ask Jorge to recommend some restaurants to you! He’s a kind and generous host.
