Guest Reviews
- ksenija (10/5): It was a lovely stay, apartment is equiped with everything needed, the location is close to all the sightseeking spots, - The location was great, everything is close, although, if you have a lot of suitcases, its a bit up the hill, so just have this in mind Only the fact that the walls are thin, the sounds (climbing up and down the stairs) from the apartment next door is noisy
- Sara (10/5): - me gusto mucho , lo que mas me gusto fue el balcon con los pufs, un estudio muy acojedor que recomiendo al 100% si quereis pasar tiempo en pareja o amigos , me quede con ganas de mas
- Dieter (10/5): Highly recommended, we would gladly book it again - Bright, centrally located but still relatively quiet Bigger bed would be appreciated
- Contreras (10/5): - La casa muy comoda y acogedora, hay que andar un poco para llegar a ella pero merece la pena!
- Paulina (10/5): Idealny pobyt na 3 noce z pięknymi widokami :) - Świetna lokalizacja, apartament czysty i piękny. Bez zarzutów… Bardzo dobry kontakt z właścicielką, która bardzo dba o szczegóły. Wszystko na plus :) Jedynie może być ciężej dla starszych osób, ponieważ miejsce jest w zabytkowej części miasta gdzie jest dużo schodów. Apartament, który miałyśmy ma strasznie malutki balkonik.
- Rob (10/5): Zeer mooie loft op uitstekende locatie - De loft is uitstekend gelegen vlakbij het oude centrum. Alles was schoon. De loft is precies zoals weergegeven op de foto’s.
Zeer fijne douche.

- Mark (10/5): A first class stay and we'd have no hesitation in booking again next time we visit Alicante. - The apartment was absolutely spotless and is in a briliant location, walking distance to the beach and all of the old town's attractions including countless bars and restaurants. Communcation from Jennifer the host was excellent and provided us with all of the information we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed for our short stay, the balcony/terrace has sea views and also fantastic views over Alicante. I highly recommend this property.

- Vitalius (10/5): - We liked the apartments and especially their location, because it is a fairly quiet area and at the same time close to the old town, and you can even see the sea in the distance from the window. The promenade and beach are only a 5-minute walk away, thanks to a convenient footbridge across the street. There are plenty of cozy cafes nearby with great food and early breakfasts. We will definitely be back to these apartments!

Sin duda, repetiremos en nuestro próximo viaje a Alicante."
- Frank (9/5): - Alles was heel goed Enige opmerking dat het gehorig kan zijn als appartement boven je ook verhuurd is.

The studio is located in a quiet area of Alicante, just 5 minutes walk to Plaja del Postiguet and around 20 minutes to Alicant Terminal Train Station. The room and bathroom were very clean, the bed comfortable and the kitchen equipped with everything you need. If you are a light-sensitive sleeper you will appreciate the exterior blinds.
- Eleanor (9/5): - Area, fantastic modern apartment, excellent shower and water pressure, Nothing
- Sergej Silvestr (10/5): -
- Diego (10/5): Strepitoso!! - Tutto!!!! Fuori dal caos ma vicinissima a tutto, la vista del mare, il letto comodissimo e la doccia… che meraviglia la doccia!!! Siamo stati 3 notti e siamo stati benissimo!!!!

- Jule (10/5): -
- Staša (10/5): Mediteranska oaza za uzivanje💙🩵🤍 - Stan je izuzetno lepo dekorisan, svetao, cist. Predivno uklopljeni detalji, udoban krevet, dobro je opremljen i idealan za samostalan boravak. Posebno nas je odusevila terasa sa neverovatnim pogledom na grad i more. Domacica Dzenifer je ljubazna i na raspolaganju za sva pitanja. Neka roletna u toaletu bi obezbedila privatnost. Veca metla i dzoger za brisanje poda bi dobro dosli. Zbog svog polozaja, stan mozda nije za one u losijoj kondiciji🙂
- Jennifer (10/5): - El alojamiento es muy bonito, es más bonito que las fotos, me encantó la decoración, además de la ubicación, en pleno centro histórico y cerca de la playa, sin duda volvería a escogerlo.
- Sara (10/5): - Fantastiskt läge i slutet av gamla staden, mellan stand och fästningen Santa Barbara. Kommunikationen med värdinnan fungerade utmärkt och lätt att ta ta sig till och från flygfältet. Vacker lägenhet. Vi kommer gärna igen!
- Kim (10/5): Fantastisch! - De locatie, de inrichting, de faciliteiten, het terras met uitzicht. Kortom alles beviel! n.v.t.
- Patrick (10/5): Un des meilleurs souvenirs de mes voyages en Espagne - Très bon emplacement. Vue très sympa. Très bon contact avec Jennifer.
Plage facilement accessible. Ligne de TRAM à quelques minutes.
Appartement très agréable De fait il est difficile d'améliorer car c'est très bien. Le seul problème qui pourrait être soulevé est celui propre à ce merveilleux quartier à savoir pas mal d'escaliers.
- Ralph (10/5): Great place to stay. It’s central location in Alicante. Close to all amenities like supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, an - Very cozy, clean and tidy. All everything you need are all there especially coffee machine. Jennifer is very helpful . Nothing
- János (10/5): Nagyon ajánlom - Elhelyezkedés,tisztaság
- Христина (10/5): - The location was perfect, short walk to restaurants, beach, bus and tram station. The owner was very nice and helpful with all we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The room has everything you need and was very clean. The view from the balcony is beautiful. Overall we had a really pleasant stay. We expected a bigger terrace as ours were very small and couldn’t fit two people. Would be nice to know there are actually 2 apartment with different balconies.
You can hear the neighbours very clearly, however during our stay we didn’t have any issues with that.
- Aleksejs (10/5): Amazing apartment in Old Alicante with sea view! - Amazing sea view!
New and cozy apartment!
Very good contact with owner!
Very good location in Old town, near the sea, markets and restaurants.
10/10! Thank you Jessica! All was amazing!
- Michael (8/5): Modernes, sauberes Appartement sehr zentral gelegen. Leider sehr hellhörig, - Sehr zentral gelegen Sehr hellhörig, Parkplätze praktisch nicht vorhanden, aber in 5-10 Minuten Fußweg findet man etwas
- Craig (10/5): Perfect spot, stunning apartment, exactly as pictured. - Great location, just out of the main area so a little quieter but n easy walk to loads of restaurants, shops and the waterfront. The apartment is beautifully decorated and provides everything you need for a comfy stay. Comes with free parking but you have to apply to the council for a permit to access the area. Would have been handy to know that prior to booking as it takes several days for the permission to be granted. We stayed in unit A and could hear abit of noise from the apartment above, even a cell phone vibrating. We would ask about booking that one next visit.
- Heather (10/5): - The location was fantastic and the cleanliness was superb It's a little on the small size for us not having a sofa for watching tv. Also, we prefer a bigger balcony, but that's just our own personal opinion
- Patricia (9/5): Top! - Balkon met uitzicht, fijne badkamer, goed bed en ligging. Als je moeilijk ter been bent, zijn de steile helling er naar toe en de trappen er naar toe een uitdaging.
- Esther (10/5): Modern, clean studio apartment with great balcony and everything needed for a relaxing break in Alicante - Lovely, modern studio apartment in a great location for the beach, castle, old town etc…
The bed was really comfortable, the shower was nice and powerful and the kitchen had everything we needed. Air conditioning was great and easy to use.
During our 7 night stay we were offered fresh towels, which was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.
Accessing the apartment on arrival was straightforward with codes being sent prior to our arrival.
For those who take their own hairdryer, there’s no need as the one provided is great, with both a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser! Nothing

The host was very responsive and helpful. Had a great sleep in the cool room and very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed relaxing on the comfy chairs on the balcony with our books and snacks whilst catching some sun. It's a couple of minutes walk from great restaurants. Nothing.
- Annika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Declan (10/5): Very clean and comfortable - Excellent Location - The loft was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Location is excellent and just a 5 minute walk to the beachfront and center. Very quiet at night. The host was truly excellent and great communication. We look forward to returning later this year! Nothing - everything was perfect!
- John (9/5): a lovely stay in a clean spacious apartment - great quiet location, clean, spacious apartment, short walk to the old town, Jennifer was a great host and was very helpful with local restaurants etc.
We had a problem with an very early booked taxi 3.30am (bookings.com) which they cancelled hours before, Jennifer booked another taxi which we were very grateful for her to do at short notice.
Thanks Jennifer
- Renata (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. The location – EXCELLENT. Just a short walk to the beach and the old town. Everything is within reach. The apartment was very clean. The hosts were extremely kind – they allowed us to leave our things in the apartment earlier than the official check-in time. Everything was perfect... Very polite and thoughtful people. Thank you for the wonderful moments! -
- Kristaps (10/5): Great location, price and cleanliness. We returned for the second time. - The apartment was easy to find, receiving a message with detailed instructions with pictures and a door code.
- Ahern (8/5): Very good - Good location up a few steps, handy to beach and bars and restaurants. Very nice accommodation with everything needed there. Lovely views. Car parking was a bit difficult, had to wait some time in car to obtain a space but left car once parked as didn't need it.
- Roman (9/5): All good - Very nice Location in historical part of Alicante Parking a bit of a challenge, pls. Check upfront , Apartment in Upper floor vary noisy
- Martin (10/5): Modern well equipped apartment located in quiet area of old town. - We arrived during the infamous Spain power cut and despite the major problems the host Jennifer was so helpful allowing us to drop our bags off early. The apartment is situated in a very quiet area of the old part of the town and was very peaceful at night. The facilities inside were very modern. Bathroom was exceptionally good and kitchen area was perfect with a nice balcony. A short walk to the bars and restaurants of the old town Nothing
- Andrew (10/5): Excellent - definitely will return and would recommend to anyone. - Location great, exceptionally clean. Host was extremely kind and helpful. Nothing
- 乐行翁 (10/5): Exceptional - Good location.
- Selina (10/5): Exceptional - The loft was a beautifully thought out space that truly had the most useful additions in a self-catering apartment I have ever encountered. The design aesthetics and quality was standout and importantly, it was a space you could truly relax in and absorb the old town charm in a new, modern feel. Superb. So glad we found this space for our first trip to Alicante. A number on the door and some signage would have been useful 👍 However, this did not take away from our 10 out of 10 experience.
- Ann (7/5): Good -
- Ciara (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic, clean, comfortable apartment. Great location and fab view.
Excellent communication with host.
- Alina (9/5): Very nice stay. - We had a great stay at this studio. Everything is brand new and thoughtfully put together—comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, and a modern, clean bathroom. It had everything a couple would need for a short or even longer stay. The location is excellent, very central and convenient for exploring the area. The only thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is up several sets of stairs, so it might be a consideration for those with heavy luggage or mobility concerns. That said, it’s definitely worth it once you’re inside.
A big thank you to Jennifer, who was a fantastic host—very responsive, clear in her communication, and super welcoming. She made everything smooth from start to finish. Would happily stay again! There is a school close to the location, so it can get quite noisy at times
- Gareth (10/5): Enjoyable stay and good value for money in nice secure area. - Lovely location-nice and quiet-and good communication with the host Jennifer. Everything was fine.
- Jorge (10/5): Great place to enjoy Alicante. - Modern, very clean and good location close to the beach, downtown and Santa Bárbara Castle.
I would like to thank the host for obtaining a free parking permit from authorities. To get to the parking, take San Telmo street and then Calle Mayor street to get to the parking below San Juan Street, from where you have to carry your luggage up to San Juan street and then further up to San Pedro street.
- Patrycja (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, quiet with sea view. Lovely balcony with beanbags and sun all day. Very comfortable bed. Instructions how to get to the accommodation were easy to follow. Close to the beach and city centre. The place was spotless and I can’t wait to be back. Definitely would recommend.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Amazing! - Everything was perfect! The apartment is very clean and comfortable. Close to the city center but in a quiet neighborhood. The view from the balcony - the best part, we really enjoyed our coffee there. If I'd ever come back to Alicante, I'd definitely choose this place again.
- Anna (10/5): Simply amazing -
- Andy (9/5): A lovely little apartment and an excellent base for a few days in Alicante - Bright, airy and a great location in the old town. Great communication and accessible by car to the road just below the property. Much of the old town is far less accessible.
