The apartment is just as it looks in the pictures, very spacious and everything you need. It's near to the beach and in a cool residential area which is typically Spanish and not at all touristy. There's a couple of excellent patisseries, one in the square of the church nearby and the other you can see from the window. There's a little balcony at the front of the house which is nice to sit or stand on to watch the world go by. The apartment is a little dated but that's reflected in the price which is very good value for it's size, location and terrace which gets sun in the middle of the day and will be a Godsend in summer for shade and eating out at night. (we were there in April). You've a washing machine and dishwasher and useable shower and a very large, comfy bed which my husband had a good sleep in. I'm very sensitive to noise and as it was Easter there were church bells, bands, fireworks and celebrations at all hours for about 5 days of our 2 week stay and there are bin collections early morning and a garage immediately below the house where someone collects a car in the early hours. Like I say my husband had no trouble but I bought ear plugs in the end which more or less resolved the issue. Of course the upside of this is we did see some fantastic Easter Parades and get a very authentica Spanish experience. Communication and check-in were excellent, we didn't meet Maria as we had a late arrival and she kindly agreed to let our daughter, who lives in Valencia, wait for us at the apartment with the key.
