Perfect location, central to plenty of restaurants and local shops, second bedroom is a little small but OK for 2 children, pool was very welcome. Thank you for a wonderful stay we would happily recommend this apartment.

Albir apartment
The property itself is in a very good position to beach sea front with lots of restaurants and local supermarkets . The only problem was that the condition of property was very tired and in need of redecorating. The weather was not good when we were there so had to have the heating on which was through the air com which proved to b very expensive. Now on a positive note Jose the owner after being informed of this did to his credit come round immediately with a gas cylinder heater. He was very fair with regards the electricity bill and we came to an agreement. Also the apartment is getting a full refurbishment which will make such a difference. So yes I would rent again because I know that the work is starting immediately.

Beautiful Albir...Hope to see more of it next time.
Jose’s apartment is in a fantastic location, a very short walk to the beach with all amenities close by. The apartment was stocked with everything we could have needed for our stay. Lots of cutlery, crockery, glassware and towels; washing machine, ironing board/iron. The apartment complex has very pretty outdoor areas, stocked with beautiful flowers and fruit trees. A lovely central pool area completes the outdoor space. The apartment community has electric gates for use if you bring a car and leads you out to the beach side of the complex. A beautiful area which can be viewed before your stay, as we did, via “Skyline Albir Webcab “ A gate at the other side of the complex leads you to the local small and well stocked supermarket as well as some local restaurants and a pharmacy. Unfortunately our month in Albir started a couple of days before the Coronavirus lockdown in Spain so we saw very little of Albir. We were however very fortunate be staying in this apartment with such lovely views from the balcony, modern bathroom and peaceful surroundings and enough space for us as a couple. We thankfully also had plenty of U.K. TV channels. We look forward to returning later this year when we will hopefully be able to explore this beautiful resort and the surrounding areas. Many thanks to Jose.

Unfortunately for half my stay I had noisy neighbours in the apartment above. Sound proofing is not great.

we loved Albir and the location
Definetely worth the stay. We have been in this property now a couple of times and we keep loving it. The host is prompt in responding to all our requests and the apartment fit us beautifully for our family. Very secured location, next to the sea, very bright and happy place to spend a few days in Albir. Highly recommended.

Best location, nice, clean, quiet, safe
We enjoyed our stay at Jose's Albir apartment tremendously. It is a somewhat dated community but very cozy and relaxed. The apartment inside has been partly remodeled (new bathroom, painted) and has a wonderful terrace overlooking the pool downstairs and sea views. Great for breakfast where you can see the sun until midday, then the sun comes in the back of the property where Jose has a small table and chairs in case you wish to enjoy the afternoon sun. Very quiet community with all you need to enjoy Albir.

Todo tal como esperabamos
Lo pasamos muy bien en la casa de Jose Maria del Albir. Apartamento muy lindo, pequeno pero con mucha luz y todo lo que uno necesita. La comunidad es muy tranquila, tiene una piscina perfecta y tiene un buen parking interior. Desde la terraza se ve parte del mar y la piscina. Definitivamente volveremos a disfrutar de este apartamento.

Do not rent this appartment.
Directly if you enter this appartement, the sewage smell is welcoming you. When you enter the living room the moisture smell hits you. The kitchen cabinets are not suitable to store food, so they are stinking. The promised TV is only the free channels to receive. So i had to place a other system on my own cost. It is not possible to close to balcony doors, hence you are not safe for the night. The beds in the master bedroom needs really to be replaced, we are suffering heavy back pain due to this bed. The second bedroom is the limit, it is so small that there is only 1 inch space between the walls, elderly people have to clime over the beds. Kitchen utensils are the bare minimum. Dogs are permitted in the add. However the building rules do not permit them. Hence we faced problems wit the community. Allover we advise you not to rent this.

Nothing for this gentleman seems good but he didnt complain about anything during his stay of over a month until he checked out except for the TV because he assumed there were paid dutch channels when the apartment description says there is only satellite TV. There are 2 sets of balcony doors one at the terrace and another one between the terrace and the living room which many apartments take out. I removed those doors to make more space in the living area. His description is totally misleading. You might want to check all the prior Reviews to notice that no one is complaining about all these other things.

Disappointing
The location of this quiet apartment is superb. It has easy access to the promenade and all the facilities wonderful Albir has to offer (shops, restaurants, supermarkets and buses). However, the apartment has an atmosphere of a lack of care, neglect and much needed maintenance. Cannot fault the owner for his quick response to our request for replacement chairs but the focus must be on improved maintenance.

We just did the bathroom remodel and the entry hallway, as well as put new electric cooking appliance in the kitchen. Unfortunate that 2 terrace chairs were apparently broken by a prior tenant, but we replaced as soon as we were told. The apartment building is a 40 year old building and therefore not the newest but the location is ideal and the apartment decor and inside is quaint and comfortable.

Very Good.
Very good location and excellent views. My wife and I know the apartment block from many years ago and it is still the same albeit modernised to some extent. The apartment itself needs the balcony doors looked at because they don't lock properly but apart from that really nice. The location is ideal because it is 1 minute walk to the beach, close to bars. , restaurants and shops but very quiet in the evening. I think the surrounding buildings block the noise. I would definitely stay here again

Very charming, indeed!
Our sea-side holiday at Jose's place was fantastic! Wouter and Christine welcomed us at check-in with the keys and some information about the local attractions--of which there are so many. We then took a dip in the exquisite, absolutely clean pool and walked to one of the many, many local, sea-side restaurants for dinner. Everything in the apartment was well-situated, comfortable, and clean. We did some cooking in the well-equipped kitchen (with two markets about one block away), enjoyed sunning ourselves at the beach (about a 30 second walk from the apartment!), and sat on the front terrace reading and enjoying the peace and quiet. We cannot wait to return and give this place the thumbs up! A wonderful place and not to be missed!

wonderful holidays at Jose Maria's in Albir
The view is fantastic and it is so close to the sea. Takes 2 minutes. We enjoyed Albir so much. Also the children could play at the beach club where they organize games, they offer free wifi, newspapers. The pool at the apartment is also very nice when you just want to relax in the evening. Definitely will come back.

WONDERFUL PLACE
Stayed for 6 nights, great apartment, close to all amenities, pool wonderful and clean - residence so charming, especially the Dutch couple in one of the 1 bed apartments and the lady beside us with the blind and deaf dog. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Am checking diary for next year and will return. The Texas Rib restaurant 50m away is good value for excellent food and the staff are brilliant... 10 out of 10 for the apartment - Could do with driving directions given from Airports in the information received other than that brilliant.

Ideal location and holiday accomodation
This apartment is really nice, and we've stayed in a few the last few years. Ideally situated just metres from the delightful Albir beach, promenade and bars/cafes etc, it's perfect for a relaxing week. Agents Christine and Wouter are charming and really accomodating, picking us up and returning us to and from the airport cheaper than a taxi. Albir is a delightful little town that we just keep on returning to, and this apartment is ideal and reasonably priced too. Many thanks to Jose-Maria, it was great to meet you too, we'll be back again.

Perfect location, relaxing, peaceful, lovely view and very secure.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment, it was as described by the owner. Having the opportunity to open the terrace and the front door to get a breeze and a choice of sitting in the sun or shade all day was great. The sun terrace over looking the pool and gardens was heaven, with plenty of room and a beautiful view of the sea and Calpe. Fresh bread or cakes every morning from the shop across the road. Good restaurants within easy walking distance and the walk from the apartment to Altea is a must ! If I had to find a complaint it would be having to get all our luggage across the gravel to the lift as the taxi dropped us at the gate to the car park! Next time we'll get dropped by the side gate which is closer to the lift. We fully intend spending another holiday here!

Flott ferie leilighet med havutsikt
Leiligheten var godt utstyrt, moderne innredning og flott havutsikt. Keyholder hentet meg på flyplassen, og kjørte meg til leiligheten, det var bare å ringe dem, hvis det var noe jeg lurte på. Wi Fi fungerte godt, og det var mange kanaler på TV, men ingen norske. Leiligheten var ren, og nå har den elektrisk komfyr og sovesofa i stuen. Veldig rolig leilighet, og det satte jeg pris på. Kort vei til stranden(50 meter), og den flotte strandpromenaden. God havutsikt fra innglasset balkong. Varm leilighet, jeg bodde der fra februar til april, og trengte ikke å skru på varmen. Omtenksom eier, kan anbefales.

This is a very good location with great access to restaurants, shops and the beach. We had a nice view of the sea across the street. The pool was great and we basically had it to ourselves. We had some trouble with the washing machine, but the owner brought us a new one directly. We will be back next year. Marianne O.

Prima locatie
Het inchecken ging slecht. Persoon sprak geen Engels en had weinig tijd. Geen duidelijke uitleg. Alle stekkers waren bij aankomst eruit, dus koud water om te douchen en we moesten alles zelf uitzoeken. Satelliet was een probleem, eigenaar was behulpzaam maar we hebben het zelf opgelost. Hadden het voor 1 mnd gehuurd

Que desorden
¡el apartamento está sucio! ¡El horno está cubierto de grasa y horneado en grasa! el lugar también estaba muy frío, compramos un calentador ya que el aire acondicionado/calefacción era demasiado ruidoso. el mantenimiento es deficiente. la aspiradora era inútil. ¡el propietario seguía llamando y viniendo para arreglar las cosas! ¡Creo que esto debería hacerse cuando no hay invitados! Cuando le informamos al propietario, José María, que nos íbamos temprano, ¡ni siquiera se molestó en responder! lo único positivo es la ubicación y la vista. en general ... ¡definitivamente no recomendado!

Lo sentimos muchisimo pero nunca nos hizo estos comentarios el inquilino cuando nos pasamos a saludarlos que fue al principio, y que habriamos realizado con mucho gusto. Me parecen sus comentarios a posteriori poco productivos y no de muy buena fe. De todas maneras, hemos cambiado de compania de limpieza y hemos hecho reforma en la cocina y reparado todos los puntos anotados. Ofreci comprar un juego nuevo de sarteners, etc de cocina pero nos comento que no era importante.

Excelente ubicación
El apartamento se encuentra en una urbanización junto a la playa y el paseo marítimo, cerca de todo. Cuenta además con aparcamiento, algo imprescindible en la zona. Amplia piscina comunitaria y entorno tranquilo. En resumen, la ubicación es excelente. En cuanto al apartamento dispone de todo lo necesario para unas agradables vacaciones, incluido aire acondicionado, tanto en el salón como en el dormitorio principal. Lo único que se echa en falta como sugerencia de mejora, sería aire acondicionado también en el segundo dormitorio.
