"Pros: The house was an ideal location for visiting la Alpujarra. The house itself is spacious.
Cons: The sole reason for booking this house was the spacious, fenced in 'terraces', ideal for our dog. However, the so called terraces are just waste ground, 90% of it is covered in small burrs which became imbedded in our dogs paws and fur. He weighs 55kg so his body weight ensured they went in deep. We were able to remove most of them but some got in between his pads and claws and became infected. He's been to the vets this morning and is now on antibiotics. We even had to clear a path from the paved area to the car so he could walk safely. I cannot imagine the pain for a small child running out in bare feet, not realising what was there. In addition there is a section of the land that isn't fenced and has a big drop onto some rocks, add to this the piles of dog poo (not our dog's) scattered around it absolutely isn't child friendly.
Usually we overlook some housekeeping issues but I have to mention the dirty sink drainer, cutlery drawer, dirty plates and utensils. There was even a half smoked cigarette behind the sofa! We had one hand towel between three of us, no slip mat in the bath (particularly dangerous for my 86 year old dad). The kitchen was badly equipped - no grater or colander for example. Outside the state of the chairs was appalling - as my husband said; we've thrown away chairs better than these!! On arrival I had to phone the contact number as I'd assumed my Booking.com pin number would open the lock box but no. She seemed surprised nobody was there to meet us (so was I as by Spanish law guests need to be registered with the authorities within 24 hours of arrival). She did tell me to call her if we needed anything, and we received a whatsapp message two days later from someone offering to visit to show us where the washing machine was. We declined the offer as we were pretty sure landscaping the garden wasn't on the agenda.
