There are two apartments to the advert, the property we stayed in was pictured from the 'double bed pic' onwards (2A), on the 1st level with two seperate bedrooms to sleep 4. There are a flight of stairs from the street level to get to the apartment. it is secure and safe. The owner speaks some english but we communicated mainly by email. He was very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is situated at 36 La Gaviota El Medano. Beautiful sandy beach!

We would have benefited from local maps tourist information (wasnt included as stated) however we found this from the tourist info centre in town and also from the reception area at the nearby Playa Sur La Tenerife hotel just down the road.

All other items included 100% as per description except no washing powder/liquid for clothes, an oversight I'm sure and this didn't spoil our visit.

The property was extremely clean, light and airy, decorated to a high modern standard. The sea and beach can be viewed from the balcony, living area and bedroom. The views from this apartment were really good, you can see Mount Roja and also another nearby beach in the distance, also in the distance you can see the airport, (this is not a problem as you dont see or hear the planes unless on the balcony and then you can just hear it in the distance.

There is a direct walkway right in front of the apartment which leads straight onto the beach, it takes 1 minute and your there! the area is quiet and peacful, the bars and centre of town are are short walk along the beach 5 minutes. This location is quite windy at times thats why all the windsurfers use this area. The weather was warm and sunny when we visited in nov/dec but windy and a little chilly at night.

The supermarket, restaurants, shops, banks and taxi's are nearby in centre (5 mins). Some shops (not supermarket) close around 2.30pm and open again at 4.30pm till 8.30pm. No night clubs, quiet bars and restaurants. There is an informtion office in the centre square.Taxi from the airport was only 13 euros to the centre square.

We visted the market in the town square on saturday morning 9 till midday. We had a lovely garden afternoon tea at the nearby hotel Playa Sur la tenerife between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.

My first time to Tenerife, had a brilliant few days would definately recommend this apartment and the area, suited us for a relaxed break.
