Great stay at Casa De Elena, no surprises-other than not much available on TV without a subscription, but thats more our fault for being cable junkies. Great condo, as described, great layout, handy having 2 bathrooms, A/C was cold and quiet, everything needed was there including interesting and handy 2 in 1 washer dryer-new to me. Full size fridge, microwave and electric stovetop but no oven. It has an elevator! Actually 2, no more lugging suitcases up stairways. Partial ocean view and enough deck to enjoy the outside, although not much privacy from your neighbour-which can be a good thing and encourage chatting as we did around the large, long, refreshing pool.
Well equipped gym with everything you would need, upstairs lounge with gorgeous sunset views, manager of lounge mentioned that they are hoping to be able to serve breakfast and lunch soon and leave dinners for Meet Meat which is on the other side of the rooftop area, did not make it there for a meal as it was too easy to go there and we wanted to go for a walk each night to a different restaurant which is so convenient in this neighbourhood-everything is so close-grocery stores, liquor store, shopping, eateries, the beach, rentals, markets… and the odd pharmacy😊
Lots of new construction but not really an issue, interesting to watch and see the growth. Much quieter here compared to PV as you can walk right down the middle of the street in the evening with the little amount of traffic-more on foot than driving.
