"We had such a good time! The house is in a great location and the pool was fantastic. Zero issues while we were there, the host was really responsive and the kitchen was well equipped. Just like the listing says, it’s a 3-storey townhouse, so there are quite a few stairs took us a couple of days to get used to, but it was totally fine after that. Highly recommend!"

"It's the fourth time we rent Brian and Mary's lovely home in Estepona. As the previous years, the flat is always clean and spotless, well equipped and the communication with Mary and Dawn is excellent. All was made to make us feel at home, and we appreciate all the kind gestures. As always, the accommodation listing is extremely accurate, and the location is perfect: while the underground parking (with close and direct access to the apartment floor) is a big plus, we didn't need the car within Estepona."

"We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. Great location and lots of space, the roof terrace was fantastic. Only downside was that it was a bit dirty outside. The outdoor cushions were filthy along with the BBQ and general outdoor area upstairs, the floor etc needed a serious wash down. We bought beach/pool towels to cover them up though so it was all fine. We were advised that they provided pool towels but they were all mismatched and incredibly tatty and old.I think someone was supposed to come and service the hot tub but they didn't.Unfortunately the host was unwell so I couldn't get in touch with her for weeks with regards to checking in etc but it all worked out in the end."
