I'm sure it's not my place to be in the middle of this so I'm not sure why I'm writing what I'm about to write... Oh boy...
Alberto sent me a distressed email this morning about seeing your posting here. I'm not going to take anyone's side but Alberto and Rosa sent me the "transcript" of your email exchanges since you first enquired about the apartment's availability.
After reading the "transcript" and your postings above, it looks like an unfortunate situation to be sure, maybe some misunderstandings in translation and differences in expectations and customs.
Usually, after the first misunderstanding spawns another, then that spawns anger, then before you know it two people are shouting at each other face-to-face and finally no one is listening and is totally shut-off from the other.
Again, I'm not taking anyone's side. And heck, I've even read a couple NEGATIVE postings about the famed Hostal López & Hostal Chelo!! It's impossible for any establishment to be perfect 100% of the time and it's impossible for any customer/client/guest to be happy 100% of the time.
Let's chalk this up to experience and move on, shall we? viequense, better luck next time, eh?
Saludos, MadridMan
