Great Location/Neighborhood and Accommodations
We really enjoyed our stay - perfect for a 3-generation family visit to Alicante! The building is secure, has historical woodwork and flooring, with a modern lift that was nice for suitcases. The apartment itself is modern and nicely decorated/furnished. The owners are very helpful/communicative, and met us at the place for check in to provide orientation /answer any questions. We enjoyed the location - the experience felt like living in the neighborhood, while the main area of the city was only 5 minutes away. Right by the apartment are a number of places to get coffee, lunch, and dinner/late night food. There is a plaza just a short walk away where we could always get a taxi at the taxi stand - even at 5am! No need to wonder how to find a taxi or whether you can get one. This was great for early morning trips to the train station to save time and not have to walk with luggage. There is a big grocery store nearby with many selections of local wine - the restaurant scene is so good so we just browsed the food options at the store. The Mercado is 5 minutes away and is worth a visit to walk the stalls and see the fruits, meats, seafood, sweets, and flowers. That places you right at the start of a walking adventure that is historic, full of great food options, and will take you to the Marina area and/or Castle. We always felt safe in the area, whether at 5am going to the train station or 1am coming back from a late night dinner and cocktails. Highly recommend!
