Wonderful January Stay
We spent Jan-24 at the $M-view condo. The VRBO listing properly presents the physical amenities of the unit. Benefits we would emphasize include (1) Deck looks north, so it has shade all day, which is lovely in the sometimes steamy climate (2) The adjacent condo buildings were built such that no neighbors can look directly onto 2/3 of the deck (3) there is a nice roomy deck table where we ate every meal (4) there are gated stairs going down to the lower street level, saving renters many steps compared to using Hortensia (5) The icemaker and dishwasher work well (6) The pool is heated, and it needs it because it gets little sun in January. (7) There is once weekly maid service.
There are some things that could be better. Although not the owner's fault, there is a Pool Club immediately across the gully which offers throbbing rhythms for your afternoons and evenings a few times (3 – 5) each week. It was loud early in the month and toned down a bit later. There is a plant nursery in the gully that was frequently burning trimmings (or something) sending a smoky smell around the neighborhood for hours. The chairs around said deck table, where we sat constantly, could be more comfortable; they receive immensely more use than the living room or dining room furniture. The bed linens are worn and some fit poorly on the Master bed.
All in all, despite having identified some issues, the view and the climate are among the best that can be found anywhere. Thanks Bruce, Linda, & Roger.
