Beautiful apt but stressful comms with owner & v noisy
The actual address is not the one stated on VBRO and the owner would not communicate it within VBRO messaging, chosing to only givebit out hy text. No other info given incl. what the WiFi code was. Found that out by searching through bits of paper in a drawer and finding a copy if an email sent to a previous guest (which included their name and email address - GDPR privacy??)
Apartment is beautiful. Very clean with quality fittings, comfy bed and lovely welcoming touches of canarian wine, fruit bowl and swan-folded towels
BUT
It is under the flight path of TFS and faces North inland so no sun on the balcony but good view of Mt. Teide. Across the golf fairway are large villas that had noisy parties until 3am Thurs to Sun and behind them is a building site with a massive crane which started construction noise from 7.30am
AND THEN
The apt above us started a full refit. It had a builders shoot set up and was lifting the tiling floor with SDS drills. The noise hit 91dB measured on my phone. Our apt was reverbrating with the noise. I couldn't remote work on my laptop let alone think, It was miserable. We reported it to the owner but other than saying sorry she never got back to us with any updates from the Resident's Association or offer of recompense. I reckon the building work above is going to take several weeks to complete so the next few guests are in for a bad time (end May through to end June 2024 perhaps?)
