The finca is located in beautiful Los Balcones! Public transport, such as a bus stop, is just 20 meters from the property. A supermarket, veterinarian, and restaurants are nearby, plus a large hospital approximately 2 km away. The rental is handled by the owner. There is a shared living room and two bedrooms available for rent. The furnishings are old and very worn. The kitchen is shared and in a dilapidated, dirty condition. There is one bathroom for everyone, equipped with a shower, sink, and washing machine. Cleaning is the responsibility of the guest. The driveways on the property are narrow, so careful parking is essential. The property could be beautiful with proper maintenance and hygiene. Parked vehicles on the property could be damaged; the owner does not provide insurance and shows no interest in taking out a policy. My stay of approximately three months was necessary due to my broken-down vehicle; otherwise, I would have left long ago. I made every effort to clean everything daily, which meant about an hour of cleaning each day. But the more I tried to clean, the worse it got. I couldn't fight it anymore: fish heads, bowls of old cat food, old garbage everywhere, green flies, rats, fleas, earwigs in the water filter, etc. On my last day, I caught something; my skin itched like crazy. Three days later, my skin was bleeding... according to the dermatologist, a severe infection... three weeks of cortisone treatment. The fact is, as long as there's no hygiene, I wouldn't spend a single day there. (The landlady has no interest in cleaning; it's not her thing, or so she says.) I thought long and hard about whether to leave an honest review! This is a danger to guests because there's absolutely no hygiene. Furthermore, enough guests have cut their stays short because of the poor hygiene. The landlady told me I had to delete the review. I refused, as the review was already very lenient. Now they're claiming your bathroom scale is missing under some pretext... simply ridiculous. Oh, and I demanded a proper invoice with a tax ID number... let's see if I get one.
