Franz, the owner, met us at the apartment, gave us the keys and a quick tour - He is very helpful and always e-mailed back quickly with any questions we had. The apartment is large, everything works and is of good quality, with a well equipped kitchen, two bathrooms and was ideal for the two of us. There is a private car park under the block as well if you are driving. Close to the sea front and restaurants, two minutes walk from the bus stop and five minutes walk from the train station and supermarket. Perfect location for us with everything close to hand. One thing to note, the balcony is actually at the back of the apartment block and not overlooking the park at the front as the photos suggest. We travel to Spain regularly to visit family although this is the first time we have stayed in Altea (usually we are in Albir, just down the road). We will be staying in Altea again as it was a very successful holiday and I would definitely recommend this apartment.
