For value, this is a 5 star stay. One, the port is across the street. To get to it, one crosses the palm-lined, geometrically tiled esplande. The service street and the main street you will cross are not overly busy. So it is a joy to step out and have a beautiful experience.

Secondly, the many, many fine restaurants in Alicante are within short walks,5 - 10 minutes. There is even a cafe next door for a coffee break. Also there is a Carrefors Express close by for supplies.

Thirdly, the apartment is spacious and nicely equipped, even to a combination washing and drying machine. The bedrooms are large with good-sized closets and plenty of hangers. The living/dining/kitchen area is comfortable, with such nice features as a granite counter and glass-top table. Heating and air conditioning are controlled by the renter. It is also a very quiet building so the stay is tranquil.

There is no view. While the good-sized windows let in natural light and air, the apartment is situated between two light wells.

For all the other benefits of the apartment, this is the only flaw. If a renter is expecting to marvel at the scenery of Alicante from the apartment, it won't happen here.

We were really pleased with all the benefits of the apartment. Christina was helpful in locating the stores we needed and in using the items in the apartment. I really recommend it with the caveat that there is no view but for the price, you get a great apartment.

The Renfe station is about a 20 minute walk; the Tram about 15 minutes.
