A quirky top-floor apartment in the up-and-coming Cabanyal area. This property has loads of character, and is set in an equally characterful area. It occupies the whole top floor, so has windows to the front and patio doors to the rear, which allows a lovely breeze to pass through, keeping the place cool. The stairs up to the apartment are a challenge, but well worth it! The remote front door answering system is ingenious, and must be seen to be believed! :-D
The apartment is well appointed, with cooking facilities and a fridge. The two terraces give options for sitting and eating outside in sun or shade. The walk-in shower is good too.
There are lots of inexpensive but quality restaurants nearby, and a good selection of shops for all the basics, including the Cabanyal covered market. Try La Otra Parte, Fets and Ca La Mar restaurants.
The beach is a short walk, and has sunbeds and parasols for hire. There is a "strip" of bars and restaurants along the promenade too.
The bus and tram stops are very close, giving easy access into the old city and the airport.
We really enjoyed the "edginess" of the Cabanyal: it seems like an up-and-coming area whilst retaining its original character.
All in all, the apartment was a great find for us, in an interesting area, and we had a really great stay.
