| Services FAQIs there a lift (elevator)?Yes - there is a lift from the building entrance to the apartment, which is on the first floor (one floor above street level).Is the apartment suitable for children?We do not recommend the apartment for younger children or toddlers. Because of the natural materials used throughout the apartment, there are many hard surfaces and sharp corners as well as ornaments, artwork, etc., which could possibly cause injury or easily be damaged.However, the layout makes it ideal for a couple together with an older child or a baby. If you have any questions, please let us know specific details. How accessible is the apartment for those with disabilities?Most of Sitges is quite hilly and street pavements are narrow with limited provision of drop kerbs. The area around the apartment is no exception.There is one small step of a couple of inches from the outside to the entrance hallway of the building, then level to the lift and level from the lift to and throughout the apartment. There is another small step of about two inches out to the terrace. Please ask if you have any specific questions about access. How good is the air-conditioning?If you have stayed in Sitges before in the summer, you will know this is a very important consideration!We have chosen very efficient and quiet air-conditioning units for the bedrooms. They can quickly cool the rooms from ambient temperature in under 15 minutes (even in the height of summer). At night, a special "quiet" mode allows the air-conditioning to run almost silently, while easily maintaining your preferred temperature. The units have been situated away from the beds, to avoid cold draughts when you are sleeping, and have controls for direction of airflow. We ask that you switch off the units when you are not in the apartment, to save energy. How good is the central-heating?Even with the mild climate in Sitges, winter evenings can be chilly and central-heating is vital for a comfortable stay.We have a gas central heating system with the boiler outside the apartment (so you cannot hear it inside). There is a simple control to regulate heat, and the system is on all the time (no complicated timers to set). All rooms have radiators. What is your smoking policySmoking is allowed throughout the apartment and ashtrays are provided.Feedback from non-smokers staying in the apartment is that this has no noticeable lingering effect. Is there a telephone?There is no telephone or telephone socket in the apartment. Mobile phone reception is good across the whole of Sitges and there are plenty of places available for access to the Internet.What electrical sockets are there?Standard European wall sockets are fitted throughout. These have two round pins and an earth contact. Voltage throughout is 230V AC. |
