Apartamento frente a la playa con patio privado

Thanks Carrie, You are welcome here anytime!

Thanks Rumena, it was a pleasure to host you!

Thanks Monique,

Thanks for your feedback, we always like to hear how we can do better. As the listing states, the apartment is in the basement of a 200 year old house, and is accessed down a flight of steps from the street. I know your lovely Newfoundland dog, who wears a tag that says ‘nervous’ had trouble negotiating the bend in the stairs. On three occasions we carried him upstairs so that you could walk him. I think we were all very relieved when he finally found the courage to go up by himself! While I was carrying your dog up the stairs, I noticed that you’d also brought your cat, without asking. After your stay we found cat claw marks on the bed head which we weren’t even going to mention. ‘Patio 1’ is not on the listing, as it is indeed the entrance to the front door of the holiday let. We sweep and clean the area thoroughly before each guest arrives. Because we are directly on the sea front, litter does occasionally drift down. I am glad the grime and litter did not deter you from eating your lunch there most days and sunbathing during the long hot afternoons. The ‘broken’ window panels have tiny cracks around the edges where we used a heat gun to strip the paint during the extensive renovations we have undertaken. We decided that a replacement would lack the pleasingly uneven character of the old glass. The window you say looks directly into the bathroom is our store room where we keep cleaning equipment and products. The windows are at an oblique angle to one another which would make it very difficult to look into the bathroom; we are not interested in doing this. There is a pass door between the main house and the holiday let, kept locked as it is for maintenance only. There's a key on the guest side for emergencies. The waste water runs through pipes down the back of the house in a normal manner, and in accordance with building regulations. The property has been renovated using mainly natural materials and paints which may, occasionally give off small flakes of salt (fluorescence) this is completely natural and safe. I would agree that this is one thing we can improve, so the room is being painted this week with natural emulsion which will stop any flaking in the future. The let is well ventilated and dry, with no foul odour. You told us that you hadn't realised that the apartment is a basement. It is so important to read the listing before you commit to booking, that way you can manage your expectations, avoiding headaches on both sides.
