10/10
We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day stay. The house is unique and in a great neighbourhood, a short cab ride away from the cathedral etc. The Maria Luisa Park is 30-40 minute walk from the house, and for most an Uber or cab ride back. The interior design is very modern, and takes a bit of getting used to, but after a day or so we quickly adjusted. We only gave four stars for accuracy of online listing, simply because of the number of stairs to the master suite and their design. Anyone uncomfortable with stairs or with small children would have to take extra care. We were a group of 50 - 76 year olds plus a 3 year old and managed fine. The pool was a major element in our house choice, and we used it every day during the hottest hours.
Sylvia is a charming host, totally open about the issues raised in an earlier post and very responsive.
We found the house very clean, with no evidence of cockroaches the whole stay. We had to spray around the pool area for a couple of evenings to get some stragglers, but after that no sightings for the rest of our stay.
Sylvia explained the power problem up front, but we found that creative management of the a/c zones avoided any outages. We were back to normal by the second day, and did not feel particularly inconvenienced.
Because of the power issues, the pool was a bit cloudy when we arrived, but perfectly swimmable. With the filter running it cleared within a day or two. As for temperature, we found it refreshing in the 90+F heat.
