Wonderful Views Terrace 3BR Cottage - BBQ - AC

Terrace was beautiful spacious was lovely

1 set of the keys didn't work properly but wasn't a big deal for us.

The terrace is amazing and the apartmenti is great. Location is also very good. We loved the the bucher shop across the street, and there is a nice market on tuseday nearby.

Parking around the house is next to impossible (end of october-begining of november). However, we found a parking lot next to the faculty which is only 5min of walking distance and for free.

Terrace

Only provided bed linen for 1 of the singles in twin room saying we only had booked for 2 people to stay. Didn't respond when we asked for more sheets. Towels thread bare and smell from drains. AVOID IF U WANT A NICE HOLIDAY

The location of this apartment is perfect, 10 mins down to the beach, 10 mins up to Altea old town. It is modern, clean, and has the most beautiful views out of the back windows and from the roof terrace, the terrace is fantastic. The large doors in the living room caught the afternoon sun, which flooded the main room with light and helped warm the living area as in January it was cold, especially at night. The living room doors opened onto a small balcony and it was nice to have these open during the day, despite the traffic. The guy that met us with the keys was extremely friendly and helped straight away when I asked for a kettle, one was delivered to me the next day. The apartment is on a main road and connected to other apartments, so of course expect some noise. My partner slept through it all, I however just wore earplugs at night which I have done when staying in other cities or busy areas. But not all was great, I hope the host resolves the niggles, it would make this property perfect!

It seems a shame to list the downsides as this is such a lovely property, but they need to be addressed. The shower head in the main bathroom was broken, and the toilet has a slight leak at the back, easy fixes. The main bedroom has an ensuite, you need a door between this and the bedroom and an extractor fan of some kind as you can smell the drains from the bedroom sometimes, not nice! The windows need curtains for privacy and in the winter to keep in the heat. It would also keep out some of the road noise. You can roll down the shutters in the bedrooms to keep out the light when sleeping but curtains would improve it so much more. There is a heater in the cupboard downstairs, but there needs to be more for the winter months, especially for the rooms without a/c. You need a few lamps, especially in the bedrooms, there wasn't one. The terrace has a table and chairs but the canopy needs some maintenance. These are not big jobs for the hosts and would make a huge difference to the quality of stay.

The house is beautiful, bright, and clean. It is quite spacious and the roof terrace is a great bonus, especially for the sunny, yet not too hot, October days. It is located very near to Altea's old town and no more than 10 mins walk to the sea coast. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay and the house itself.

There are no protective nets against mosquitoes on the windows. The rattan furniture on the terrace is not usable anymore, as it was obviously left unattended under the sun and rain (check images attached)
