We had a great stay at Karine’s place. The apartment was clean and exactly as pictures. Location was great, easy to get to places by car or by walk. Check in and check out was easy. Karine was very responsive when messaged with quick responses. Highly recommend staying here !

Wonderful stay
This apartment was just what we needed as family of four. Big enough for everyone to have their own space. Easy walk to supermarket and restaurants. We did not use it but there is a bus stop right across the street from the apartment. Owner was very responsive and unit was just as described. As other reviews mentioned, furniture in living space could use some changing out. Couch pretty uncomfortable but we were not in the unit long enough for that to be a problem. Overall, great unit. We enjoyed our vacation very much

Fab location
Wonderful location easy access to all locations walkable to old town, marina and new town.Huge with plenty of storage. Good heating system for colder evenings, great fridge freezer. We didn’t use the cooking facilities and the apartment just needed a little TLC such as painting and maybe some more home comforts such as furniture on the bigger balcony to sit and enjoy.Fantastic location next to two supermarkets that you can walk to in just a few minutes.We had to vacate early due to flight change and property manager accepting we didn’t leave beds stripped bins emptied as I would normally do, communicated well via WhatsApp. The apartments are residential and signs up to keep quiet as a tourist residence so would not recommend if you have a loud party as very quiet residence. Perfect for a family stay. Great views you can see the sea from the balcony! Large tv, breakfast bar, table to have breakfast on the balcony, key safe so no worries about losing the keys! Did not use the pool due to December stay but looked lovely.

Lovely apartment
Me and my family stayed here 23rd June 24 for 10 nights .
The communication and ease of access were great.
The apartment is big and spacious , clean with modern mod comms .
The double bed in main bedroom was a little hard but my teens had that room and we had the twin room with comfortable mattress and a on suite
Pool area is great and has 4/5 loungers .
I just have a few things that this place could improve but it wouldn’t stop me from returning here .
When you come in there is a smell from the kitchen sink !!!
If you are a family of 4 and 3 of them are girls and like to take a longish shower the water runs very cold very quick so you will have 10 mins to shower 4 people if you like to have one with warm water .
The apartment is right next to Aldi and Lidl so perfect to get daily shops .
situated on top of a hill
It’s 10-12 min walk down But a killer coming back up but taxis are only 4-7 euros back up .
Just a tiny few tweaks and this place would be perfect but as I said we will return and thank you for having us .

Lovely apartment. As listed. The main bedroom really could do with a better mattress and pillows which echos other reviews and a little tlc is required here and there such as the oven doesn't seem to work and the balcony lights don't either. Overall not enough to cause a drop in stars as we throughly enjoyed our stay and our hosts were excellent in terms of communication and request fulfilling. Thank you for a wonderfull stay

Very happy with this facility !
Property was very functional and we enjoyed staying there. We had family staying down the hill in old town, but we didn't mind the walk up and down - great exercise.
It would be nice to have access to a BBQ , instructions on how to open back gate in yard, and a couple more tea towels / dishcloths.

Could be a Lot Better
We were very pleased with the building and cleanliness and spacious of the unit, however thats were it ended and other items took away from the enjoyment.
Furniture was not very comfortable, especially the couch in the living area. In addition a dining chair was broken and took threes weeks get it fixed. Also the bed in master bedroom was very hard and you could feel the springs through the mattress. We had to ask for a mattress topper to make it useable. There was a safe in the unit but apparently it was locked and no one could open it so it couldn't be used. Appliances need updating, built in microwave didn't work and the stove would cut out at times and seal around oven door was falling off. The fridge and freezer however worked very well. Balcony furniture were hard wooden chairs and there were only two of them plus a small wooden table. No furniture at all on the bigger balcony off the master bedroom. Admenities such as oven mitts were lacking. The heaters/AC in the bedrooms were noisy and needed to be serviced as the cleaning icon keep coming on, I brought this to the attention of the property manager but it was never addressed for whatever reason. If these items were addressed it would be a five star stay.

Albufiera 2 bdrm apartment (in winter)
Really loved our stay. Property 12-15 min walk down steep hills to beach, pretty walk. V close to groceries and convenient to find driving. Very comfortable apartment, (bed was a bit lumpy) all kitchen utilities stocked. A separate bathroom for each bedroom.
Laundry facilities. Quiet area but close to the more lively parts. We were there in the off season and parking was easy. Heating was good for cooler days. Owners very responsive. Excellent

It's not a quiet retreat location
Flat was well equipped, complimentary coffee and tea was nice. Suggest a Welcome pack with local info in a folder containing location of the loungers, manual for the air-conditioning units and a couple of dishwasher tablets and washing machine tablets would have enabled us to use them as did not want to buy a full pack from the supermarket as a waste of money. Also drain cleaner for the kitchen drain which smelt very bad for the first two days. Very noisy area from traffic, barking dogs and screaming kids its a busy area close to all amenities but it is not a quiet holiday retreat location. Lovely apartment and grateful for the late check out time allowed.

Great location
The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything you need. One thing I would say is that the double bed is extremely hard and was very uncomfortable. The 2 single beds were soft and we had no complaints from the kids.
The pool area was nice, but there were no cushions for the sunbeds, which again made them quite uncomfortable. The pool itself was nice, but is not heated, so could be a bit cold at times. You could also hear a lot of traffic from the highway whilst at the pool, but that didn't bother us.
The apartment itself is in a great location, albeit a bit hilly when returning. There is an Aldi immediately opposit, and a Lidl on the opposite side of the highway, extremely handy being so close by.
We all had a great stay.

Location of the property was great. Nice view overlooking the town and ocean. Walking distance to downtown and beaches as well as main commercial strip. Groceries very close by. Apartment had an elevator and is on 2nd floor with a balcony. Furniture very old and beat up, needs replacing. Kitchen and linens very basic with nothing on walls to give it any warmth or coziness. Property manager very responsive when toilet and heating unit needed to be fixed.

Lovely apartment close to amenities
Pros - close to supermarket, short 10 minute walk into old town, lovely spacious apartment with plenty of cooking facilities, lovely clean community pool, good TV with apps if needed, excellent wifi and comfy beds.
Cons - close to main road so can be noisy at night, dirty crockery in the cupboards (looked like someone had used a couple glasses as ashtrays), walk back up is quite hilly.
All round we had a fantastic weeks holiday in this apartment and would probably stay again as the location is super handy. If you are a sun seeker you will spend most of your time around the pool as our balcony (note we went in September) only got the sun up until lunchtime.

Nice experience -good value
Owner very nice and flexible; 15-20 min walk to the beach; 3 min walk to groceries and 5 min walk to the market. Apartment well laid out, lot of storage and comfortable except for the beds we found too soft. Nice sunny terrasse in the morning. Close to a round about and busy street. With the AC on, trafic noise was no issue. We also appreciated the underground parking.
We would certainly go back and recommend this place to friends.

Great Apartment
We were pleasantly surprised that the apartment was very large and had a little view of the water. The two bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and ready for our check-in. The kitchen was supplied with just the right amount of the amenities to host dinner for an entire family. Although we did not use it much, the TV had ample entertainment options. Wifi was very strong.
Our check-in process was fast. Karine met us the moment we arrived.
Parking was readily available in front of the building.
Two grocery stores were within walking from the apartment, which was perfect.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We even met the next door neighbor and had a morning coffee on the balcony with her, while overlooking the ocean and neighborhood. :)
The location, was as it says, 10 minutes from Old Town. Be aware, Albuferia is very hilly.
Our host was always available if we had any questions, very fast to respond too. We will definitely return.
