Casa Helena

​We had a wonderful stay in Alicante as a family of four (including our two-year-old). Our host, Katerine, was excellent and incredibly accommodating, even allowing us an early check-in which was a huge help with a toddler. ​The apartment itself is comfortable and well-equipped, and the kitchen had many useful items. She even provided wine and yogurt for us as a nice touch. A massive bonus for us was the blackout curtains in the rooms, allowing everyone to get a great night's sleep. ​The location is perfect. It’s just a 4-minute walk to the Plaza Mar 2 Shopping Mall, giving us multiple options for shopping and eating, plus there are several supermarkets nearby for everyday essentials. It is also an easy 20-minute walk to the beach, and Katerine kindly provided beach towels for us to use. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay. As feedback to help with future guests, the apartment might benefit from some renovation in the Kitchen, and particularly the bathroom. We noticed that door's lock in the bathroom is not working and the shower curtain is currently broken and could use a replacement. ​Aside from that, everything was comfortable and we really appreciated Katarine's hospitality.

Very cosy and comfortable apartments. Perfect for a family holiday. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Cosy neighbourhood. 10-15 minutes to the beach. Close to the airport. 3 minutes from the Mercadona or Auchan supermarket, where you can find everything you need, always fresh and at affordable prices. The apartment has bed linen, towels, beach towels and a beach blanket. The bathroom has very good quality shower gel and shampoo, not to mention cleaning products in the kitchen, laundry capsules and coffee capsules for the first few days. The neighbours are friendly. There is a pharmacy opposite the entrance across the road. Special thanks to Kate, who met us and checked us in. Everything was quick and timely.

There are minor details, but they do not affect the overall impression and relaxation.

Apartment is very spacious, bright, clean, modern, very well equipped. My 2 sisters & I spent the first week in May there & we loved it. Everything about it! It was so comfortable. Our apartment had 2 large bedrooms- one had a queen bed, the other a double, both really comfortable, also a smaller room with one single bed, there was a sofa bed in the living room which we didn’t use as a bed but it was very comfortable as a sofa. Free WiFi, a smart tv, kitchen had everything, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, iron, even a coffee machine with coffee pods! A balcony, lovely to sit out there in the morning & evening. Our host had left us a lovely bottle of wine & 2 large bottles of water which was such a nice touch. The whole place was spotlessly clean, there were even beach towels provided! Could not fault this apartment, would highly recommend 😀 The local Spanish supermarket in a short walk away, it’s huge & has every imaginable food & wine very reasonably priced. Museum well worth a visit, especially during a thunderstorm, which we had. Beach is a 10 min stroll slightly downhill & if you don’t feel like walking back in the evening get the No. 2 bus down near the beach. The main prom which is really beautiful is a very short distance from the beach & is lined with lots of lovely restaurants. Turn up off the prom takes you to town centre with lots of really cool shops. The castle on the big rock overlooking the town is also worth a visit but make sure to take elevator which is located across from the beach, there are also steps up which go on & on!

A very very small thing, one part of the folding shower screen had a break in it like someone put a hand through it.

Le balcon est très sympa.

Il n’y a pas d’aération dans la salle de bain/toilettes, et il n’y a pas de l’eau chaude au robinet de salle de bain. Les casseroles ou poêles sont bien rayées, ce qui n’est pas bien pour la santé. Nous avons utilisé donc seulement la casserole inox pour la cuisine.
