Great central location for Alicante
Apartment is located approximately 10 mins walk from the seafront and close to the indoor market. The apartment is located off Avenida De Alfonso so easy to get your bearings.
We caught the bus from the Airport (3.8euros per person) to the apartment (Bus stops in Ave D. Alfonso. We left Alicante by train to our next destination and the partment is again only 10 mins walk to the train station at the end of Ave d. Alfonso.
The beach is well equipped with lots of facilities with the marin next door for water sports and boat rides. There is a section of the beach geared for the elderly and disabled at the far end of the beach. This has good accesss to the water with chairs and ropes in the water to aid access getting into the sea.
The apartment is well equipped and situated on the 3rd floor. The front overlooks the street and the rear overlooks the backs of building which resemble a building site. Be careful with the rear railing if you do venture onto the balcony at the back.
Two minor issues we had were that we thought we had hired a 3 bedroom apartment but as we were a party of 3, one of the bedrooms was closed off to us so in effect it became a two bedroom apartment - there was no prior discussion about this and the person meeting us could not speak any English and our Spanish is too limited to query so we just made do. The other little issue was air conditioning which is adequate in the main living area but doe not extend to the bedrooms apart from ceiling fans so it does get hot and muggy at night for those not used to warmer climates.
Overall a good little apartment and we would be happy to stay here again.
