Penthouse apartment in Playa Muchavista
Good sized apartment. Great location. Photos of the rooms are accurate. 1 block from the from the beach (bring your own beach towels and chairs as they are not supplied). 3 blocks to the tram stop but the bus stops outside your door. Less than 2 blocks to large grocery store.
We stayed off season and the area was extremely quiet, a lot of surrounding businesses including restaurants were not open.
This apartment has a large roof top patio with a tub. Unfortunately the tub was broken when we arrived and it took 5 weeks to get the owner to fix it. Once it was fixed we realized that there was not enough hot water to fill it.
The advertisement for this apartment claimed the apartment was equipped with an oven and a barbecue. Neither of those features were actually included. The owners solution was to give us an electric griddle. The lack of cooking options definitely hindered our ability to make meals. Less of a concern if you are a short term stay because lots of restaurants near by. Highly recommend the Apache Grill for burgers!
During our stay a few things broke and the owner was very slow to respond.
The beach which is 1 block away is amazing, white powder sand, with 7 km tiled boardwalk for walking and biking.
Despite some of the above issues we enjoyed our stay and if it wasn't for the lack of cooking options we would have considered staying here again.
