Apartment is as described - roomy, good air conditioning and quiet most of the time. We had a few problems but overall we had a pleasant stay. The kitchen and bathroom were OK although more plates/cups would have been useful - we also enjoyed a wine or two on the outdoor terrace. The washing machine worked well. The apartment is located in a busy area with many bars - Alameda Hercules is a large open plaza with a weekend market and many people and families everywhere. There was quite a lot of noise in the evenings from the bars outside but it didn't affect us in the apartment as sound insulation was good. There was, however, quite a lot of noise from an adjacent building on two evenings that we were there, sounded like a party, voices and music until 5am. The internet system is shared by all the tenants in the building and tended to slow down and periodically stop altogether in the evenings when everyone is at home - the owner was unable to assist with this problem. It also only "worked" in the corner of the main room, unfortunately nowhere near a table. We arrived by taxi from the train station and were unlucky with the taxidriver - he didn't know the area, so after that we just asked taxi drivers to take us to Alameda, without mentioning the street address, and walked the 100m to the apartment. Alameda plaza is well served by taxis and we were able to get one at the end of the plaza at 6am on the morning we departed.

An ideal location, agree with all previous reviews. Very secure, we had no worries leaving valuables in the apartment. Literally as you walk out the front door there are numerous tapas bars and restaurants, however, the apartment itself is very quiet. Would particularly recommend Duo Tapas which is about 100m to the right as you come out the front door.

Just a word of warning - if you are driving here, make sure you have excellent directions, Google is probably best. We used a Sat Nav and got hopelessly lost when it tried to take us up no entry streets. We went round and round all these tiny, narrow one-way streets for 2 hours! Eventually we abandoned the car and found the apartment on foot. Miguel's colleague very kindly walked back with us and drove the car to the apartment himself - I don't think my poor husband could have coped with any more!

The apartment is in the centre of the old town. Location couldn't be better. Close to all tourist attractions during daytime and tapas bars in the evening, but also quiet and peaceful. We (Wife and I) found the apartment very spacious, though I'd say that four could share in comfort. Agents were superb and very helpful. Kitchen well equipped, though with all the wonderful tapas bars on your doorstep you're unlikely to want to cook, the option is there. You could probably rent a much cheaper property but I'd recommend that you pay extra and spoil yourself.
