Horrible
Cons:

No tiene agua caliente ni la va a tener. El propietario lo sabía desde antes de nuestra reserva y en ningún momento nos lo notificó, ni siquiera estando en el propio alojamiento, lo tuvimos que descubrir por nuestra cuenta en la primera mañana. Nos tuvimos que duchar calentando agua en una olla y una tina, que ni siquiera teníamos siempre disponibles porque las ocupaban con comida o se llevaban la tina a su baño privado sin avisarnos. Además, la puerta que separa su salón de la zona que alquilas es translúcida (no puedes salir del baño en toalla porque te puede ver). Sobre la ubicación, queda más lejos del centro de lo que parece. Hay muchos otros alojamientos más agradables, con agua caliente, mejor servicio e igual precio más cerca del centro.

Local a evitar
Cons:

Não tem água quente, e a água fria não tem pressão.não faz sentido nos tempos que correm, a agua fria não ter pressão e não existir água quente. Uma bomba de balão que tem um custo reduzido resolvia esta situação

Spotless and Comfy, Close to Beach
Pros:

Very cosy and close to beach place! Host is very friendly and accommodating. The bed and room are super comfy and the place is spotlessly clean!! Nice balcony and the neighbourhood is pretty quiet, though some decent restaurants are in a few minute's walking distance. Very very affordable!

Cons:

Some people commented on no hot water. I was aware of this before booking and It's not a problem for me (i cold shower), but I think for a small surcharge, hot water would be available. For the price of the room, I think it's totally reasonable to pay a few euros extra if you want to have the "luxury" of hot water.

Parada de un día
Pros:

La atención recibida fue positiva, el anfitrión nos prestó unas toallas para la playa (que está muy cerca) y se nota que prepara la estancia con mucho cariño.
La cama era muy cómoda y sugiero este lugar como un sitio de paso para una o dos noches.

Cons:

Por decir algo negativo diría que la presión del agua de la ducha era muy suave

No hot water
Pros:

A well equipped room and the owner gave us many recommendations. The bed is comfortable and there is even a sunny balcony.

Cons:

There is only cold water which makes it very unpleasant to take a shower and let alone wash your hair. If that would be fixed this place would be 10/10.

Todo perfecto!!
Pros:

Todo increíble!! Muy limpio y cómodo. Cerca de la playa y del centro y con una tienda debajo del piso. Lo mejor sin duda el anfitrión, nos ayudó en todos nuestros planes y se preocupó en todo momento de que estuviéramos cómodas. Sin duda, repetería!!
