We love staying in the La Mairena area as it is quiet and secluded and has spectacular views. Just a short drive down the mountain - about ten minutes- you have the center of Elviria where you have everything you need- grocery, restaurants, beaches, etc. The location of this apartment is great as it is within walking distance to a small grocery and restaurant - the Kuda bar- which has great food, a nice atmosphere, and great views. It is also within walking distance to the German school where our son attended summer camp. This apartment is in a small compound which is great as there were very few people and we had the pool mostly to ourselves. The apartment is exactly like the pictures show, well-stocked and comfortable. the host was great and the communication was seamless.
