When we got to the apartment everything seems fine. Nice dining room, bedroom and a beautiful view of the volcanoes and the sea. Small, but nice balcony and the apartment was clean.
*However, we soon discovered that there was no ventilation in the bathroom.
*The shower needed to run for 5-6 minutes to get enough pressure and heat on the water flow for us to shower.
*The hob in the kitchen did not work and there were holes in the bottom of the oven. Looked like someone had punched these holes with a screwdriver! According to the owner it would be so!?
After a few days, we had a new stove and oven installed.
*During the 2nd week, out of 6, we had a heavy rain and woke up to water coming from the bedroom window and from the doors and windows in the living room and kitchen. We had to dry up roughly 6 liters of water in the morning and air dry with the apartment's heat pump
*After the rain, it was not possible to close and lock the wooden balcony door which had absorbed water and Chris who managed the apartment had to make a temporary solution by planing and grinding down the door so that we could close and lock the apartment when we were not there..
*We contacted the owner, who we believe is responsible for the apartment being suitable for rental. Unfortunately, this was another very unpleasant experience for us. The owner was completely misunderstanding us when we thought we should have some kind of compensation for all our problems during our stay.
We actually lived and paid rent, during the time that craftsmen had access to the apartment!
They would replace the doors and windows in the future but that didn't help us.
The apartment was definitely not worth the money it cost as it is now, and we will never rent it again.
We have been coming to Lanzarote several times a year since 1994 and stay 5-6 weeks each time, the longest stay was 6 months! and rented apartment in many places in Puerto del Carmen, but never experienced anything like this.
