The apartment is in La Mata, a suburb of Torrevieja north of the city along the coast The apartment is on the 3rd floor, with sea views (about 200m away). There is a balcony which gets the sun all morning till mid-afternoon; a nice spot to relax. It sleeps 3 - one bedroom with double bed, and sofabed in the living room. Some of the fixtures and fittings are looking a bit tired and would benefit from refurbishment/replacement; and, it has its quirks - the washing machine is in the bathroom and the bathroom light has to be switched on if you're using the washing machine; and, the gas cooker works from outside the oven, and doesn't have temperature markings. But, there's everything you're likely to need. It is good value; note, there's an extra charge for cleaning, and heating/lighting. There was excellent communication from the key holder, Marina, before arriving to arrange key handover, and during the stay with any follow-up queries. The apartment is in a good location: there are bars, restaurants and a couple of small supermarkets in the immediate area; La Mata centre is a few minutes walk away, with lots of shops, cafés, restaurants, a lovely bakery, post office, tourist information, bike hire etc; or, Torrevieja centre is easily accessible by bus. There is a street market right outside every Wednesday, selling foodstuffs, clothing and electricals. It's nice to explore on foot, along the waterfront, to Molino de Agua Park (park/nature reserve); Parc Natural de Las Lagunas is just across the dual carriageway at the rear (visible from the rear balcony), a spectacular nature reserve with salt lagoon and lots of birdlife. Further afield, recommended day trips are: Alicante, by bus direct from Torrevieja bus station, or bus stop on the dual carriageway; Orihuela, by bus direct; and Murcia, by bus and train. I stayed in the apartment for six weeks, January to mid- February, and enjoyed it, and would stay again.
