Charming and bright apartment just 100m from the beach

Fantastic hosts and wonderful lodging. Great location, right in the middle of everything. Tremendous communication.

We rented this apartment in Oct25 for 705 based on the photos & reviews on Vrbo. On arrival we saw that the exterior of the flat had a dampness problem (see photo). On entering, the lounge & kitchen looked pleasant, & Irina (the key holder) was very pleasant, informative & kind. However, there was no mention of the significant dampness on the bedroom wall, which we only noticed later. There was a damp, unpleasant smell from the washing machine when we opened it, & a brief wipe inside with a tissue resulted in it being covered in black mould (see photo). That evening we saw that plaster was coming away from the bedroom wall and there was a musty smell in the room & in the wardrobe. On our 3rd night there was the rustling sound of pieces of masonry falling from the bedroom wall; it was not possible to get out of bed without walking on dust and plaster (see photos). My wife felt that the wall was not safe & she couldn’t sleep in the room, so the next day we checked into the QE hotel in Cadiz at a cost of over 300.On reporting this to Irina, she apologised profusely & a few days later we received an apology from the owners, saying that they were aware of the problem & builders were arranged to repair the wall. They also apologised, saying that they did not know it had deteriorated so much.This property should not have been rented out in this state & we received no warning from Vrbo or the owners before our trip. We would not have rented it in this state of repair had we known.

Property was clean inside. Helpful information for transport and places to visit was available. The broadband was fast and reliable. The main advantage was the close proximity to the beach and old town. It was good to have some chairs available for use on the beach. A very enjoyable stay.

Great location

We stayed for 10 days with 2 persons in the accomodation. It is good situated in the old town of Cadiz, you do not need to move the car to see all POI. The beach is just a minute away and there are a lot of pubs and restaurants near around. But consider, the old town is very loud and as there is not an air condition in the bed room, you probably want to keep the windows open in the night. The door lock is very difficult to close, this is sometimes very annoying. The shower was clean but has very little water pressure and the toilet smells sometimes very unpleasant. We were only at home to sleep and to have a shower, so being close to the beach and all POI´s were more important to us.

It was a dream,very peaceful and enchanting stay. I definetly recomend it.

We were totally please with the organization of the space and the fact that the owner had provided with everything you need when you arrive. Also appreciate the situation near the beach, near the city center. Thank you

Two minutes walk to the nicest beach, La Caleta. Two minutes walk to the nearest supermarket. But a perfectly quiet street with no shops or bars and almost no cars. Bus stop and taxi rank round the corner. Ideal.

We loved the Barrio de la Vina with its mix of old inhabitants and students. The tapas bars, easy strolls to all the sights, the excellent Cadiz museum were all great, but most of all we enjoyed taking the provided umbrella and chairs for the three minute walk to swim in the calm waters of picturesque Caleta beach.

An ideal apartment for 2 people who like self sufficiency as the apartment has everything you need should you want to take advantage of the amazing local market. Also near many restaurants and bars where you'll mingle with the locals. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood despite being minutes from shops and bars/restaurants. For beach lovers it is only 2 minutes walk to the nearest blue flag beach. So, ideally placed and very comfortable apartment. Easy check-in also - just a call away. Cadiz has a great vibe - not touristy so you mingle with the locals at a very relaxed pace.
