I reserved this apartment for my parents when we celebrated New Years in La Parguera. It was perfect for them since my Dad likes to cook and they were looking for a quiet place to stay. It is not that close to El Poblado (10 min drive) but it is in a very safe neighborhood and a short drive away. I cannot say enough good things about the owner, Anthony, he was so attentive to all our needs. Even when there was a blackout on New Years Eve, he brought over flashlights and a solar powered fan. We would definitely come back, it was just what we were looking for.
This is a great place if you are only looking to sleep here. If you plan on cooking or spending any amount of time at the rental, I would look elsewhere. There is only 2 sets of dishes and silverware. The host did bring 1 more skillet for a total of 2 skillets and 1 pot. And there are no kitchen towels, hand towels or wash cloths. Still a nice place to lay your head for a couple of days
