From start to finish, I had an excellent experience with this rental, Gwen the owner was very responsive when ever I made contact and Marie at apartment was lovely to deal with also!
The apartment itself is located about 45mims from Alicante airport, 15min walk from the beach and 10 mins to the famous Paddys Point, La Zenia Boulevard is literally less than a 5 minute walk across the road, we ate there a few times but we found some lovely local restaurants outside of the centre that were really nice and great value for money. The centre has everything you could want from high street shopping to restaurants, cafes, bowling, arcades, kids play areas and a casino, with daily entertainment also.
The accommodation caters for everything you could want, there are 2 bedrooms in the apartment 1 double and 1 with 4 bunk beds for the kids, the other bedroom is upstairs in the solarium separate to the main apartment where there is a nice terrace area with a barbecue. The complex is really nice and the residents there were lovely to deal with, the pool area was spotlessly clean and the kids loved it as did I!
If you have any security concerns over holiday apartments especially if you have small kids then you don't need to worry, first of all the complex is gated at all times with only those who have keys can access and secondly the apartment it's self can be locked up like fortkox! So you can sleep easy!
The only minor negative on the apartment would be the drains can get quiet smelly especially if you are out for awhile, but I suspect this was down to building going on in new apartments down the street, once you run the water for awhile it tends to get rid of it.
The local supermarket the Mercadonna is literally out the door and across the street and is very well priced! Lidl is also beside it. No lugging bags of shopping for long distances which is great.
We spent 10 days in La Zenia and it was our first time here and we will definetly be back next year if not before then!
Many thanks to Gwen & Maria the hostess!!
