The photos of the apartment are beautiful and honest. From the moment we entered fell in love with the apartment. Unfortunately, the photos do not tell the whole story, the love affair only lasted for few minutes and our fascination has changed to bewilderment. We noticed that air in the back of the apartment and the bedroom is a bit hot and stale and much to our surprised, we discovered that the ultra modern apartment in what looks like a very modern building was designed not only without heating and cooling, but also without ventilation! The only way to ventilate apartment was to keep the outside door open at all times, and given that this door is on the ground level leads straight to the pool, this brings safety and security concerns. I believe that that this is not safe and not suitable for families with small children.
Additionally, it means forfeiting any control over inside temperature - with the door open, the temperature inside will approximate the temperatures outside, and as I mentioned the apartment is lacking heating and cooling.
Lastly, even with the door open, due to building design, there is no draft, and the air is barely reaching the back side of apartment. Hosts provide a ventilator, but it's not adequate for the apartment of this size and layout.
Having said all that, these drawbacks have not affected our stay too much - the weather during our stay was mild, the earlier heatwave has passed, our children are reasonably obedient and it was somewhat weird, but ok to keep the outside doors open day and night. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and having nice pool at our doorstep was awesome. The hosts also were nice and it's not their fault that the building was designed without basics which most people take for granted.
However, I felt important to leave a critical review, because I have doubts whether this apartment would be comfortable to live in during periods with less pleasant weather. I'd encourage travelers to inquire with hosts to get the tips on how to balance air circulation needs with a comfortable indoor temperature.
PS Lastly, when seeing apartment on the map, I noticed that it's next to the ocean. One thing which I didn't realize - that due to high cliffs there is actually no access to the ocean. The closest beach is about 30-min walk in the city center. Unless you are an avid walker, I'd recommend having a car in this part of the town. On the positive side - street parking is plentiful.
