Wonderful Stay - except for the noise
We stayed at Brillasol for 9 nights in February. Check in was easy and the accommodations were beautiful, just as pictured and described – very clean and well maintained. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the stairs were well worth the view. The outdoor spaces were great for morning coffee and afternoon sun. It was nice to have three bathrooms and showers, but there was not enough hot water for more than two short showers before the water ran cool so plan accordingly. There are several inexpensive laundry services within a few minute walk. A large supermarket is just down the street and the beach is a three minute walk from your door. There are many restaurants, coffee shops and bars in all price ranges within a close walk as well but we especially enjoyed the taco stands right across the street – some of the best birria tacos in town! And the fabulous churro stand mentioned in other reviews opens right outside the door every night at 6 pm. The one big negative (at least for us) was the noise level. The Brillasol building sits on a very busy street and there is a taller building directly opposite the apartment creating a canyon of amplified traffic and car stereo noise that woke us several times each night even with ear plugs deployed.
If you are not sensitive to late night noise, there is very much to like. The owners are kind and responsive and their property manager Alvaro is just a phone call away if needed, which is unlikely.
