At the end of our stay we thought the owners didn’t care at all about us as guests.
The location was convenient, close to shops and Santa Barbara castle.
If you’ve got a car, just a warning regarding the parking in the area, is simply a nightmare to find a spare spot, one evening we drove around for on hour until we found one!
We should’ve read all the reviews carefully before booking this apartment, what they said is true and I’ll detail them on our review as well.
There is a requirement for a €200 deposit but is quite hidden in the description for the apartment in my view should be clearer and on the main page. It is a normal method, given the nature of the accommodation but when you check out, nobody comes to check the apartment.
They also charge €30 for a late check in (after 20:00), however the owner lives only 5 minutes away so it’s just an excuse to get some extra money. Other apartments have a box with a code and you can easily collect the key this way.
The apartment is on the 4th floor with no lift available so bear that in mind. The main room and living room are towards the main street therefore is very noisy because the public transport runs on this street, you can also hear the cars, motorcycles, scooters and even people talking! Sleeping in any of these 2 rooms is a nightmare because the windows/door doesn’t block the outdoor noise.
If you book the apartment during the winter, think again! Was very cold inside and we were given a very small halogen radiator for one room but didn’t make any difference.
All the furniture is very outdated, maybe even 20 years old! Mattresses were very uncomfortable, you can feel the spring coils through them!!! Bed lining and duvets were very old, sleeping on hard pillows doesn’t help at all. When we asked for an extra duvet, they took one out from the cupboard but wasn’t clean and looked like the last wash was quite a long time ago !!!
The amenities are kept to a bare minimum, there is no oven (despite being mentioned in the description!), toaster, coffee machine, kitchen towels, bedside lamps. The drainer for kitchenware is in the cupboard and was full of rust. We had quite a few kitchen cockroaches, their main habitat are in the cupboards but they also adventure in the living room.

Aircon was barely functioning. 1 of the electric fans stopped functioning on our 2nd day but in fairness to the host they gave us 2 replacements right away. The tv was not functioning.

Excellent value for a great stay! Look no further and book San Mateo apartments!
We were met by Natalia when we arrived, very nice, very helpful. When we left, Natalia secured a taxi because there were some work in front of the building, making it impossible for taxi drivers to collect us. She even stayed with us until the taxi arrived.
The flat was spotless clean and well located. We went to different beaches (San Juan / Albuferata / Benidorm), but we preferred the local one called El Postiguet.
We have truly appreciated the air con in the living room as well as the kitchen and bathroom. I travelled with a friend, so we used two bedrooms (three if you consider that she couldn't sleep in the morning with the noise from the workers BUT the work was nearly finished when we left, so you won't have this issue. Bedrooms are basic but ok and very convenient if you travel with friends or with your family)
If you'd like to take the tram, when you leave the building, turn right, right again at the end of the street, straight on (you should see Mercadona on your right), and walk until you reach Vithas Hospital. The tram is located just behind the hospital, very easy and convenient.
Mercadona is one of my favourite supermarkets, so a few minutes walk from the flat, and you can even reheat paella on site and eat there at the back.
If you'd like to taste something local, we had a tostada every morning (toasted baguette with fresh tomato sauce + ham + cheese) with cafe con leche (coffee with milk), delicious. Paella con bogavante is to be tasted also, it was a first for us and we loved it.
I highly recommend Sant Mateo apartments and will make sure to choose that option when I get back to Alicante: you will not find a better quality price on the site (well, it was the very best option when I selected it in September 2022).
Although I knew there were stairs to reach the flat, it was a little difficult, especially if you have heavy luggage with you, but this little issue is of no consequence when compared to the pros.
Era un pis molt ben cuidat i estava molt net, molt espaiós amb aire acondicionat.
L’edifici era vell i només podies accedir per escales (4t pis) perquè no tenia ascensor. A més avisar que et fan pagar 200€ de dipòsit amb tarjeta, perquè aneu preparats.
