we visited the los geranios apartments in august this year having booked a private apartment from the owner , being recommended to us from friends who use his apartment each year. he is very helpfull and told us how to get cheap flights and asked us which apartment we wanted as he has on differerent floors. you can see each apartment on --- you get the keys before you go and there are no extras like paying for safebox, tv, late checkout,etc. we have booked again for next year 2007.
