After reading reviews that mentioned not being able to open shutters as onto street level & wanting outside space / terrace following completing the Camino, I contacted host beforehand to ask to not have one of these — they were unable to guarantee. On arrival, disappointingly we had been assigned the exact apartment we had dreaded. Contacted host immediately and was informed no others were available. This apartment sits on the corner & on ground level (kitchen / living room space), there is no outside seating area and is directly onto the street. The shutters downstairs were never able to be opened both for privacy & security. Needless to say, definitely a negative & impacted the stay. Despite this, it is a lovely apartment - bedroom & bathroom are upstairs (on level you arrive via lift / underground parking) and kitchen, dining table & living room space at ground level. The kitchen is poorly equipped for cooking. The coffee machine was brill however mugs provided don’t fit under it so be aware to ‘tilt & hold’! 2nd day, the host contacted to offer an alternative apt with small terrace (additional charge & smaller apt)- by time details were available, we were out and so didn’t work out. Overall if you are not bothered about outside space & cooking, this apartment would be fine. Highly recommend hosts to be specific in the listings what apartments are on what level, what have outside space and the photos need to accurately reflect this.
