  : we loved the location of the property. it was right on the port in Corralejo, with an excellent outlook and a great spot for people watching! There were lots of lovely eateries and places for a drink practically on the doorstep and even more if you wanted to venture a little further afield. All within walking distance though. Silvia and Jorge were excellent hosts, allowing us early access, which allowed us to start our holiday as soon as we arrived in Corralejo. Thank you both for being so accommodating, it was very much appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
  : The only thing we had an issue with was the size of the beds. They seemed like small doubles and being used to a king size bed, we had to sleep in separate rooms to get a decent nights sleep. Once this was realised, we had a great nights sleep and were ready for our adventures thereafter!!

Disappointing

  : Location was goodIt was cleanKitchen had enough plates cups etcBed was comfortable
  : The reviews didnt sum it up. The pictures were not of this property (some)The water pressure was so low that my son couldnt wash his hands. Turns out this was an issue with the whole block. It got fixedThe bulb in the bathroom went, tripping all the electric. After a lot of badgering they came and fixed that.The hair dryer and kettle tripped the electric. They replaced them.Some sockets were broken, one was hanging off the wallThe shower was broken, the overhead jet didnt work, the bathroom window didnt open. Just what you dont want when your kid then gets a violent sick bug.Wind whistled through the doors and windows.The kitchen cupboard door was hanging off. Bare plaster on the wall in places. Balcony at the back got no sun, furniture rusty. View whilst was of the sea was obstructed by a scruffy building. So so disappointing. Needed a lot of titivation.Lady who greeted us was a good communicator until there was an issue.

  : This apartment is like home from home. So well equipped and very central near the port so if you like watching the world go by and the boats coming and going it is the place to be. Near the shops and amazing restaurants. Parking is not an issue. Lovely terrace off the sitting room/kitchen with a view of the sea and the port. Otilia a lovely kind lady met us at the apartment with keys helped us make restaurant bookings and was available during our stay via Whats App. Excellent service. You are near Tantaluna, El Rincn,Bistrot 13, D'Vales and several other amazing restaurants. 2 minutes to La Longa the bar/restaurant at the port highly recommend great service. Great place to relax have a beer coffee or wine with some food and people watch. One of the best one bedroom apartments we have stayed and we are coming to Corralejo over 20 years. We could hear the rolling waves from the bedroom with the window open loved it. Amazing storage too and good hairdryer coffee machine fridge beach chairs..etc etc

  : Close proximity to the harbour and Music Square.Walking distance to the large Hiperdino in the Old Town off Calle Playa Cho Leon.In a residential area so you feel like you're in a home from home.Having a washing machine to enable travelling lighter with only hand luggage.Balcony has panoramic views of the harbour and surrounding area.Ideal for a couple or solo traveller, but not more than this or space would be tight.
  : It's a shame the owners won't put patio furniture on the balcony to make more use of this feature. The sofa is comfortable but it's not a table and chairs.I stayed here the first time back in Apr/May 2023 and I had was an issue with the water heater where the hot water was running slightly brown. I did say the water heater should be replaced as brown hot water wasn't normal and the heater shouldn't drip to eliminate excess pressure that often or not drip at all. They carried out repairs but the same issue persisted. I said nothing further because I generally got the impression that they thought I was being over-dramatic and didn't know what I was talking about.Fast forward to Nov/Dec 2023 and the water heater was running hot water excessively brown and was also sounding like a horn on the departing ferries. An engineer came the following day to see if he could flush the heater through; it didn't work. The day after, the water heater was replaced as it was about to conk out and was full of rust hence the brown hot water several months before.My point is, why wasn't it changed 7 months ago when I complained before about the water heater being defective? I do this line of work for a living in the UK and have done for 15 years; if something is wrong fix it properly rather than do a repair which was never going to resolve the problem.Now this isn't a reflection on the apartment but more a beware if you wish to stay here. It didn't bother me per se, but it may others.1). The household waste, recycling, glass bottle banks etc are regularly emptied and usually between 4:30am and 6:00am. Whether you have an open window or not, you will hear it.2). Restaurants nearby use these waste facilities, so you can hear them getting rid of waste after closing well after 11pm and they're loud.3).

  : Excellent location, very close to the main part of town. Convenient shop located less than 2min away. My apartment had a wonderful balcony which caught the sun all day and had a nice view of the harbour. Good coffee machine.
  : As mentioned in some other reviews, there were some issues with ants, I was very careful to not leave any food produce out but sadly a few still appeared sometimes. Saturday evening was incredible noise coming from a facility across the street, never heard a music system so loud from within a building. Stopped around 11pm but not ideal. The harbour can be a bit noisy first thing in the morning.

  : Was met with keys to the property on arrival and showed around the apartment. Host was in no rush even though it was getting late. Would stay again. There were only 2 of us 2 2 bedrooms were locked . Might have been a bit cramped if 6 were staying. Still fantastic value

  : A lovely, bright, spacious, large apartment. Great views, only slight downside was as the bins are emptied early in the morning it can be a bit noisy. But everything else was spot on.
  : As I said, noise from emptying the bins.
