Just returned back to the UK from a weeks stay at the Arona apartment hosted by Dmitry. First impressions are, the apartment and surrounding dwellings are looking a little tired and could do with a freshen up, our apartment in our opinion felt this was also the case inside as well.
The furniture, TV's and kitchen appliances are all looking worn and need to be replaced to give the apartment a more modern feel. Out of our group of 3 I did find that the sheet on my single bed (firm) didn't look very clean, I messaged Dmitry about this, he said that he would pass it on to the cleaning company. However, with that being said, if he owns the apartment he should really be visiting regular to make sure that the cleaning company area actually doing there job and not waiting on renters to bring this to his attention.
How I know that he hasn't visited in a while is when I messaged him to find out that there was an iron but no ironing board, he advised me to either knock on the neighbours door and ask to borrow theirs or go across the road to the hardware store and buy one. I did the latter and to his credit, Dmitry refunded that cost back into my account right away. That is when Dmitry told me that he hadn't been to the apartment for a few months.
I cannot comment in regards to the pool area as we never went there.
Other reviews have mentioned the busy main road directly outside of the apartment, this is correct. I slept in the single bedroom to the rear and even I could still hear the traffic, but not enough to bother me. I also kept my wind closed as it wasn't warm enough to keep open throughout the night. The other two guests said that the traffic noise would prevent a return visit to the said apartment as it would wake them early in the morning.
As I briefly mentioned the TV's above, all room are fitted with tv's but the rear bedroom has no direct source of signal from an outside aerial, so apart from being able to play DVD's from the supplied player, there would be nothing else that you could watch. However, we don't go away on holiday to watch the telly and if we did want to watch anything, we all had iPhones and/or iPads that have all the streaming services on.
The wifi in the apartment is okay in the living room downstairs but none existent in any of the bedrooms, so possibly some inexpensive wifi boosters could help cover the rest of the apartment.
Okay for the money that it cost us, but next year we will most likely go elsewhere.
