Check in was easy, as usual, with a vrbo property. We stayed a week and cooked most meals. We had a great time in Avila, loved the location of the condo and we were prepared for more noise but the area was surprisingly quiet. The kitchen is well equipped but could use a tea kettle, coffee bean grinder, and some open wall shelves for personal food supplies. The condo is comfortable, but the decor is rather dated. I gathered up an assortment silly gee-gaws and tucked them away and out of sight for the week. I like a rug in the main sitting/TV watching area because it is cozier and there was none. The coffee table and the tv table were fine but the baskets that occupied the shelves were distractingly ratty looking. The sad wreath on the front door needs to go. Bed was comfortable but the linens were drab. It is such a simple thing to put together a smashing bed - lost opportunity. The bedroom closet was a jumble with fans, a broom, vacuum, etc. My husband didn't notice any of the above. Full size washer/dryer, dishwasher and outdoor grill all functioned very well.
