Matador Vacation

Our stay at this property was good, The property was just steps from the beach, the view from the fifth floor balcony was great. The property was located within great proximity of all restaurants and supermarkets. This was an older property but clean Everything was provided that we needed from silverware to linen. My only note to the owner which does not reflect my rating is the bedroom carpet need cleaning or taken up and replace with tile, since there's so much traffic in the rental, my second comment is the sliding glass door from the livingroom and bedroom was very hard to slide back and forth. My husband and I really enjoy the property and would recommend to others

Nicely updated!

We really liked the way the kitchen was modified. It felt much more open than the other two units we stayed in a couple years back. The only bad thing I can say is the water pressure in the shower needs to be fixed which I’m sure will be I would have gone with 5 stars if it wasn’t for that. Thanks for letting us use this condo.
