Albuferia : Apartment 85m² + Terrace 30m², exceptional view see and old town

The apartment was in a great location and had everything we needed. The elevators to old town were close as was the grocery store and the bus station.We looked forward to coffee on the terrace every morning and either cooked in the unit or went to a nearby restaurant for lunch or dinner. The view was amazing, something I would never grow tired of. We hope to return!

Communication with host during booking process was excellent! The entire property was impeccable and secure. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped, functional and modern .The view was amazing . There was one issue with one of the 4 patio doors not locking properly which was not repaired during our stay.

Absolutely spectacular. The view was beyond our expectations. Apartment very clean, kitchen and bathroom modern but the apartment had charm. Pool was clean, unheated of course and so refreshing with the hot weather. The location was great with a grocery stop just up from the corner. Escalators take you down to old town with 938 restaurants and everything you would want. Take a taxi back for under 5. Obviously we had a great time and will be back.

We just returned from a week stay. In general, the apartment was nice, especially the following: --the location was superb. --the views were outstanding. --the size of the apartment, the bedrooms, and the terrace were great. The negative that keep us at only 3 stars are as follows: --the apartment is in need of updating. The stove and oven are very old and did not work well. --The television was 15+ years old and did not even work most of the time (sometimes it would turn on and sometimes it would not). A working TV was explicitly noted in the listing. --The owner told us there would be WIFI in the lobby, but that was not true. There was a very old desktop computer that required pay as you go, but even that was not working. To keep up with work, I had to go to nearby restaurants to access WIFI. This would have been OK if the listing on homeaway did not specifically state that internet was available (in which case we would likely have rented elsewhere). --There was a lot of construction going on in the building, which limited access to the roof deck and resulted in lots of construction materials and debris left in the hallways overnight. --The listing pictured a billiards table for use , yet this was nowhere to be found, likely due to the construction chaos. --Even though we reserved for four people and the listing said that there were beach towels provided, there were not enough for all four of us. When I immediately informed the receptionist about this, I was told that was not their problem but rather the owners (who lives in France). We had to go buy our own. --Other little things were irritating. For example, the master bedroom had a twin size flat sheet rather than correctly sized sheet for a double/queen size bed which did not cover the bed. --You had to pay extra (and pay an extra deposit) to use the safe that was already in the unit, which seemed petty and should have been included in the cost of the rental. There were other notes saying deposits were required to get other basic things such as a hair dryer, second set of keys (which is a must for a family of four on holiday), the remote to the TV (!!!), etc. There was also a crazy inventory list with prices (for things like cups and cutlery) that we were not about to spend our time going through (who knows if half of those things were even there to start). These petty things just set a negative tone to the place. Sadly, we would be hesitant to recommend this rental.
