    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable stay! What I loved the most was the excellent communication before our arrival and how smooth and easy the check-in process was. Honestly, it’s been the best experience I’ve had renting a vacation apartment. The place was super clean, functional, and cozy. If I had to mention one small improvement, it would be the sofa bed—but everything else was fantastic

    This was a last minute booking but it turned out great. The host team was easy to deal with and responded quickly to any questions. The unit is in a great location and perfect for 3-5 people. The only issue I saw is the master bathroom. The shower and toilet are in a tiny room and it’s hard to shut the door without stepping into the shower or straddling the toilet. All it needs is the hinges moved so the door swings the other way. I would definitely rent this unit and stay at the El Matador again.

    The condo was ok. Dishes had dried food on them, and if you want to cook, you literally need to bring everything. I'm used to rentals that at least basic condiments like salt and pepper. This one had nothing. Also, only one roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. We had to share on the ladt night. Mattress in madter very uncomfortable, but location of condo was good.

Only one elevator was within but didn't seem like we had to wait very long. We've stayed at this location for least 5 years like trying out different rooms

    The condo wasn’t the best. It’s outdated and the back slider and front door are very difficult to open and close. I wouldn’t rent this unit again knowing there are plenty of other updated units in the complex for the same price or less. Also, if I could do it over, I would rent straight from the matador website or the Holis website.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really don’t have any complaints. I’m used to two queen beds in guest room at another unit & this one had twin beds. Maybe get some pot holders, there wasn’t any but we made due. It was a nice vacation!!
